You're missing the point.

You still need enough bandwidth to stream the video. That is not up for debate. Their servers do not magically mean you can stream things from their servers to your client as if you had a fast internet connection if you do not.

Nobody is arguing that they did. The point is that you don't stream things from the server that require a fast internet connection, just video of the server.

Streaming high quality video (enough to render small text on GUI applications) requires a 'fast' internet connection.
