You can already watch videos at 60 frames per second on YouTube, but the popular video site now allows live streaming on the high framerate.

Hooray for constant experimentation, but it's that experimentation that leaves the site broken every other day.

YouTube 1080p@60fps consumes about 30-40Mb/s when watching. I hope you have a good upload bandwidth.

edit: Seems I am wrong, about 5Mb. Below explains.

Ahh yes, seems you are correct. If I watch short videos, like only a few minutes long, the entire video buffers and that goes about 50Mb/s. If I attempt to watch something like a 30+ minute video of something like Quake Live and other games with decent pixel change, it levels off around 5Mb/s.
