Why does streaming have to be a poor experience?

I am streaming movies on an active member site from an iphone (3G and none-flash) and it scrubbs perfect, no stuttering etc.

A well set-up streaming server solution with well-encoded mp4 movies is a wonderful experience.

(are people still using 512k modems???)
