At Gamescom this week, Sony announced that it will partner with several internet providers in Europe to deliver broadband service plans specifically suited for the PlayStation 4.

Sony's forthcoming partnerships with Ono, Orange, T-Mobile and Virgin Media will ensure broadband speeds of up to 200 mbps specifically for gaming purposes. The PlayStation 4 boasts content streaming as one of its tentpole features, making speedy internet service crucial for the upcoming console.

Virgin Media announced that it will offer PS4-optimized service plans in the UK following the console's launch in November.

This sounds quite interesting, hopefully even people who live in remote areas will be able to get decent speeds from it.

My internet at the moment is terrible and if someone else is on something like netflix it makes my online gaming lag and when somebody else is using the internet too youtube runs slowly and not 1080p / HD :/ so this would be great !!!
