This really doesn't work very well for a great many users.

You can have all the bandwidth in the world, but the magic that Youtube does is mainly dealing with the users' bandwidth, for example, it switches video resolution on the fly when it notices that frames are going to have to be dropped soon.

If only browsers would natively support adaptive quality video streaming. Perhaps we should ask the biggest browser vendor to implement that, surely they won't have any conflict of interest there.
