    No residential broadband service anywhere in the world offers you 130Mbit/s speeds from servers on the other side of the world.

    What sites are giving you the buffering message? 30mbps is more than enough for streaming video. Heck, I used to get excellent streaming on 6mbps with Comcast.

    Exactly, you should not be getting buffering messages at 30Mbps. Most video sites are tuned to deliver at far lower bandwidth.
