just to be sure... it's not satellite internet is it? if so, don't even try man

EDIT: other than satellite internet i think 1.5 mb/s will work for ya... if not you can always upgrade i would think

with only 1.5 mbps??? im moving, and i have like 15 right now but on a horrible wirless area

[Frenchy180]

I think so as long as it's a dedicated line for your home only. Try a one month subscription first is my best advice

U will technically be able to sign on, games that have dedicated servers are your best bet, games that are peer-to-peer like SF4, CoD, Transformers, etc will make others mad if your lagging a little bit...I wouldnt expect wonders to be honest

I played on a 1.5 but if you are using wireless with it I wouldn't recomend, no matter what you think wireless will slow down your connection. If you are hooked up directly to the modem/router you should be fine.

Technically that should be true...but my wireless adapter has a better connection now then when I had my xbox hooked up to a Qwest Modem.

That makes no logical or technical sense, but if it works? I guess that's cool.

Yeah, wireless has too much packet loss for me.

Maybe it was Qwest, we switched to Comcast.
But now I have faster download speeds and it doesnt lag as much, except when one of your neighbors is obviously stealing your connection haha.

Yeah well, cable should be a bit faster than DSL but it depends on how many people are between you and the provider. DSL is defined meaning you get the same speed no matter what. But Cable is by demand basically meaning who evers closest gets the highest bandwidth
