I can't speak for mediatemple, but streaming will allow the user to seek ahead to arbitrary points on even the longest files, without having to download the full file.
For a 30 minute movie, where the user only wants to see the last 5 minutes, this could save 80% of the bandwidth (only the last 5 minutes would be downloaded).
It's MUCH better than progressive download on large files.
