I think this may be a solid option for some people; and the number of people is going to continue to increase. AT&T is actively building out fiber to the home, which dropped my ping times to nearby servers from 22ms to 5ms. (from interleaved VDSL2 to GPON; earlier i was on fast path ADSL1 and had ping times around 7ms, but much lower bandwidth)
I found some people on dslreports forums with Comcast's DOCSIS 3.1 service, and their ping times were around 15ms to a local server, which is still ok enough.
The upgrade process is gong to be slow, but 4 years after OnLive died, there's a significantly higher number of people who have a good enough connection to use it. It sounds like there's a lot of improvement on the server side too, as well as in hardware assisted compresison/decompression. Monitors have also been encouraged to decrease processing latency too, and everything adds up.
