if youre hosting a lan server meaning private lan for your house only, thats not what that number represents. as long as you have a ethernet port on your computer it will work.
as for internet games, joining games download and upload need to be at least somewhat high, but for hosting you need a good upload speed. my upload is ~800 kbps... and i think i had 8 or 9 players in my server once before they finally complained about lag. i dont really host servers anymore.
