The study, which measured the bandwidth needed for watching YouTube, video chatting and using light P2P applications says that today one needs at least 3.75 Mbps (down), 1Mbps (up), with a latency of under 95 milliseconds. Of all the countries surveyed, only Japan meets that requirement consistently. In five years, we will need 11 Mbps (down), 5Mbps (up), latency under 60 milliseconds.
