That "only" comes out at around 9 MBit/s, a lot of people nowadays have 
internet speeds getting on for that.

Anyway, there are also compression algorithms that are a lot more efficient 
than the one used on DVDs. So in theory you could get DVD quality with a lot 
less than 9 MBit/s if you use a better compression algorithm.
