A viewer posted,
"Bro lagged in real life"
highlighting irony in real-life blunders despite seamless online connectivity. Some fans complimented the quality of his uncut 6-hour, 1440p stream.
"China's internet support is crazy bro it's top notch no other country can beat china. Internet quality is the reason why speed could do straight 6 hour stream with 2k Quality."

IShowSpeed's seamless stream draws attention to China's speed and reliability on the internet
IShowSpeed's long and high-quality stream has shed light on how China's internet network is efficient. Most fans raised the point that streaming at 1440p without buffering at all times cannot be achieved worldwide.
One said, "W chinese internet tho streaming in 1440p with no lag is crazy"
highlighting the solidity of the internet connection. China's online services have undergone tremendous growth over the years, particularly in large cities.
Fiber-optic networks and ubiquitous 5G coverage are behind stable and high-speed connections. Rural areas still face network outages, but urban areas keep adding digital infrastructure to support high-bandwidth use like live streaming and cloud-based applications.

The latest figures indicate China has fast internet speeds but falls behind some nations
China is among the leading countries for internet speeds, according to the Speedtest Global Index of February 2025. The nation stands at 10th for mobile internet and 11th for fixed broadband.
The median download speed on mobile is about 139.58 Mbps, and fixed broadband averages about 238.04 Mbps. Despite these statistics, other nations still have higher rankings. Singapore, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates, for instance, frequently top global internet speed rankings.
China's consistent advancements in 5G and fiber-optic networks, however, show steady improvements in connectivity and network growth.
IShowSpeed's real-time streaming experience in China has triggered broader debates regarding internet quality in other regions globally. Though his 6-hour high-definition stream impressed numerous observers, the discussion also shed light on the speed of the internet and the infrastructure around the world.
China is still evolving its digital networks; its internet speeds continue to be competitive at the international level. But internet performance varies regionally, and other nations are developing their digital infrastructure.
