PlayStation Now, Project xCloud, Project Atlas, Project Stream - Project time to test our speed!

As I understand it, once you have 25mbps, you are good to go, then what it really matters is the ping... but the ping to whatever datacenter you have to connect to, for every service. Still, I guess it could be useful to see the current Internet offers all over the world.

Ah, excellent. Another thread to remind me how utterly pathetic American internet is.
Do you live in the internet? Are you part of the stream itself?
I have what it takes but I've played some playstation now but the screen looked washed out

Is this over wifi?
Wired, wireless, didn't make a difference for me. Washed out highly compressed video with noticeable input latency. It wasn't enjoyable.
Verizon DSL
2.8mbps down
0.4mbps up
Extremely worried about our streaming future
Also, this still costs like $35 per month since Verizon holds the monopoly of """broadband""" internet out here. This is literally the fastest that has ever been offered out here. In fact, since the Verizon network has reached capacity, not even DSL is offered out here anymore. If you want internet out here, currently your only options are satellite or dial-up.

75 meg down, 15 meg up, ping of 7ms to nearest DCs. Actually live in a fairly rural village in the UK so am very pleased with how well rigged the place is.

You hiding in Googles server room or something?
Virgin UK 350/20 for Ā£55 a month. There is suggestion this will go up to 500/35 spring 2019. It's crazy how far behind and expensive the uk is compared to some posts here.
There is a 1Gbit option available in the uk but it's very limited in regards to area (which I don't live in)

Just putting up your total down/up rate is kind of meaningsless (unless you have less than 10mbps down..)
The latency to the specific datacenter that will host the steaming hardware is the most important part
For example from Scandinaiva the closest Microsoft datacenter give you about 50-60ms

Google has a datacenter in Finland with about 25ms from Scandinavia

That's one thing, but in my experience, another big thing is contention on your local connection and in your local wireless environment, if you're not using ethernet.
I can use PSNow quite nicely until someone else starts doing streaming of their own in the house.
You don't notice contention much when just watching video - or if multiple people are watching different videos in a house on different devices - because each can use buffering to smooth playback through the ups and downs of their device's access to the bandwidth.
When streaming a game...you notice every little up and down as your device gains and yields access.
Maybe this is just something with my router, though. But I dare say a lot of routers behave like mine, if it is the problem.
I mean, this only gives you a very rough idea because the latency and speed to the endpoints that the streaming services will provide can vary a lot to what you get to speedtest.net.
Tested it a few days ago, 60 download / 10 upload
Do you live in your ISP?

I've currently got 7ms ping, 390Mb down, 22Mb up. That's on Virgin Media in the UK.
Should be able to get about 550/40 later in the year, too. Upload speed is way behind imo but they don't offer any better.

Ok, so then why do I have terrible lag issues playing Rocket League on Steam. Not always but at least one or two matches are fucked.
With project stream, I didn't do any testing but I could move my mouse and sense a "wait" before something happened. It was very very minimal mind you but I still felt a disconnect between my actions and what was happening on screen.
27 ms ping is not great. Were you connecting to the nearest server in the speed test?
i just googled speed test and clicked the blue button. Do you think it would improve if i connected my computer via cable to my modem? Im on wifi
Broadband speed is one thing and the crucial parameter, but almost all technical problems, glitch and bugs will be concentrated in the distance between the modem/antenna and the device. And even among enthusiasts, networking is something esoteric for the majority.
