Interesting experiment but bandwidth has very little to do with lag, ping(round trip time) is the cause for lag. Having a 1000 Mbit/s line with 3s RTT (round trip time) would be horrible lag-wise but great for downloading stuff.
I'd pick a 100/50 Mbit/s line with low ping any day over a 1000Mbit/s with horrible/average ping.
Yeah, but considering how many people that confuse hard drive space with RAM when you ask them about their hardware, I'm sure a lot of people will buy it. :O

try explaining this to Virgin media when they say 'but you internet speed is fine'
lol
This is a clever video/experiment but they were playing it up quite a bit if you ask me. You would quickly develop techniques to stop screwing up like dropping stuff in the wrong place. These people are either over-playing it or have extremely poor kinaesthetic senses
