    1MB may work, but that is not a really fast braodband connection these dyas. Most are 2GB and above.
    Like mine is 5GB and it works great with no pauses or skipping.

    It depends a lot on your upload and download speeds.
    The minimum requirement listed is 64KBs/64KBs
    64KBs download is a speed well below a 1MB connection.
    so use the internet and do a speed test on your connection and post what it gives you.

    5GB!!!!???
    What do you have, a hardwired T4 line into the internet backbone?
    The Xbox doesn't do anything faster than 100 Megabits/sec and FTP transfers don't go much faster than 8-10 Megabytes/sec.

    I think he means 5 Megabits/sec.

    Most cable modem systems can do that and this is fine for most games.
