15-25 Mb/sec, that's megaBITS. Your average cable modem runs 6-8 Mb burst.
Without HD audio, those numbers can be reduced a bit, but not much. Bottom line is that for many years to come, any so-called "HD" streaming will be anything BUT HD. Even SD/DVD streaming is pretty low quality compared to discs.
