To put that in perspective, that's 192 KBps.

Mb = mega bit
MB = mega byte

the requirement is 1.5 Mb, therefore 192 KBps.

I don't know if I have this. When I download games from steam I get a max of 1.2mbs and this is the fastest for my area I believe.

I would definitely move out of my home town, lose my friends and family and ditch my job for the Xbone if I couldn't get a good connection there.

Actually, yes why would you want to live in a place with less than 1.5 mbps? Not Xbox One related. I just couldn't cope

All respect to Jim Sterling, but I think they stated that the Xbone operated 'optimally' at 1.5 mbps, not that it was required to.

I wouldn't be able to get this console then living in sort of rural Canada (I didn't have any interest in buying the console in the first place, but still).

My internet here is the fastest offered by any ISP and it is still under 1.5 MBPS.

Ok this is getting out of hand. I know people with a 360 with a 1MBps connection. And that on paper.

And I assume Sterling means 1MB even though the letter are not capitalized.

I believe that's technically the recommended speed. If you aren't playing online/using the power of the cloud(tm), then you don't need much. As Phil Harrison said, it's only sending a few kilobytes when it phones home.
