It was impossible to watch 1080p videos on YouTube. On Hulu, 480p videos were slow and sometimes needed to rebuffer. I went to speedtest.net to get some hard numbers on the speed, and this is what I got:
Unfortunately, PdaNet is not a total replacement for someone like me who skips the cable TV bill and uses Netflix and Hulu for video entertainment. Connecting to an Xbox would be a challenge as well, but with a ping that high, it would be unbearable. However, it seems to be quite useful when on the road and you want to use the computer for general web browsing, email, etc., and when you don't want to do all that on the tiny screen of a Droid.

I really would not enjoy anything less than 3 Mbps for a home connection. I do see how that app could be handy on the road though.
