I have a couple of questions regarding this service that weren't brought up on the video.

1) Will they have overseas servers (as I live in Australia and the lag would be in the 100's of milliseconds at best if the server is in the US)?
2) What connection to the internet is required for fast speeds? (ADSL 2 and above?)

This is just the very first examination of the service. I'll pass your questions on.

Regarding internet speed, Nvidia recommends 50Mbit speed for 1080p, 20Mbit for 720p, and at least 10Mbit to work at all.

For their gaming service they do have one Asia-Pacific server AFAIK in addition to several in the US and EU, No doubt Mike will get the answers to the rest of your questions but at least you won't have to depend on connection to a US server (assuming I'm correct). If it's similar to their GeForce gaming on the Shield I think you have the opportunity to check the latency before committing to the service.
