Nireland wow 200 would be outstanding.

200mbps is completely insane. It's literally 1000x faster than my current connection (which is 200kb/s)

It is kind of weird that they are actually worrying about internet for their console or they are willing to invest money is getting good internet for their users. I prefer this over the exclusives.

-InsanelyAwesome- Can't wait till Virgin Media release more info for this, I only get 2mb/s speeds and the lag on some games is terrible. Getting the package deffo, and for people saying why do you need 200mb speed because PS4 games are going to be massive in size more than likely so being able to download fast is a plus.

How do you even live with that man. Wooooww.....
