That should be fine. You can even play on a dial up connection. Bandwidth is not an issue. You just want low variance in ping times.

Yes variance and ping is the problem

Bruv got fibre broadband which was fast but was crap for AH, he got it sorted in the end but went grey over night :)

there's some people that can play tethering to their cell phones.  what is important is a steady connection.  that's why satellite service is so crappy, not a very reliable connection.

Satellite is bad, due to packet latencies.

The game is designed for a 28.8k modem connection.  Variance is the most important consideration.  A 100mb/s connection, with a 50mb/s variance is worse than a 28.8k modem connection with a 10b/s variance.
