Close. High bandwidth, low latency.

High amount of data able to stream, low time to communicate with the server.

That said, servers are a lot faster than they used to be, and video compression has come a long way too, so you can stream more things on a worse connection than you could in the 90’s.

    Video compression would be an interesting area to study.

    It’s pretty much the entire plot of Silicon Valley (TV show). It is complicated and fascinating.
