You definitely got this wrong man - don't mix YouTube's compressed 1080p with Blu-Ray's native 1080p. Obviously most 1080p videos on YouTube have a variable bit rate of 3Mbps and 7Mbps (max). So no - it's not even close to Blu-Ray's "up to 40Mbps" videos.
As for Nemeses' question, I can assure you that 720p YouTube videos can be easily viewed at 2Mbps speeds, as for 1080p, you'll need at least 5Mbps to be on the safe side and avoid lagging.
