The media market has fragmented, so unless we're talking about the first
week in February in the US it's not all from one source or 3 or 5.
So far the most common delivery format for quad HD content online rings
in at around 20Mb/s so you're not delivering that to 10Mb/s customer(s).
On the other hand, two weekends ago I bought skyrim on steam and it was
delivered, all 5.5GB of it in about 20 minutes. That's not instant
gratification but it's acceptable.
