I preordered as well and TBH for the most part while using the CCU it was fine. Would only occasionally have issues and would have to just stop playing and try again later. I have 1Gbps internet and speeds are always above 800Mbps from my PC but trying to play through chrome was impossible. I also have Geforce Now and it has never worked due to upto 97% packet loss so I knew there was a lot more to it needing just speed. After some research and testing I found it to be the hardware provided by my ISP was complete crap but due to their delivery system and their complete lack of giving a crap about paying customers it was going to take forever or a big chunk of money to get around their system. Finally I found a cheap way around it a few weeks ago and am now using my own router and everrything was fine with the CCU. Chrome was still a big problem and it turned out to be hardware accelleration with my GPU, turning it off made it playable and then using the stadia+ extension made it better again. Chrome updates have also been improving the experience every so often. TLDR: Download speeds just show you have the bandwidth. If you get disconnected due to stadia's connection status being red or even yellow its due to the quality and stability of your connection.

Like what @Mordyn points out almost all of these bad reviews are coming from people that dont have a clue. All speedtests and network testing typically rotates around TCP but even for inexperienced people just looking at the troubleshooting section shows that UDP is also used and is widely used for gaming services. My ISP drops a ton of UDP packets for reasons they cant even understand, which means stadia via desktop is real bad for me, but if I use a VPN stadia via desktop works perfectly for me. Stadia via the chromecast ultra works 99% of the time though. So people have 1gbps internet with great speeds and assume that equals great internet where in fact its just a selling point for the ISP.
