To be fair, you're only just barely a tad behind the times... ;-)
I regularly play video over a wireless link both at home and in the office.
At home not only is that video limited to just over 10Mbps (from the
wireless base station), it's coming first over a DSL line which is of
course much slower than switched 10 meg ethernet, into a router, then to a
100Mbit switch, then over a 100 meg segment to another 100Mbit switch to a
10 Mbit link to a wireless base station... performance is excellent.
(admittedly I get 8 meg inbound on my DSL line... at off-peak times of day)
.
Details of the above aside, a dedicated 10Mbit client line off a switch is
more than sufficient for video depending upon the number of simultaneous
connections to the server--the bottleneck will be the server's bandwidth.
You would be correct, however, if you were referring to any network using
a _shared_ 10meg segment (eg., using a hub instead of a switch, or a
shared 11meg wireless sharing with more than perhaps one other client
machine).
