They will no will no longer throttle mobile internet to unusable speeds after data allowances are exhausted, so it is kind of a "minimum universal connection" via mobile.

400kbit/s is surprisingly usable. I'm able to use my podcast app at 1.25x on 256kbit/s so with near double that i'm sure I could use it on my standard 1.6x that I like to use.

    If streaming in 256kbit/s only required 256kbit/s actual connection, your math is correct...in reality it will need higher bandwidth to stream seamlessly at that bitrate.
