I just clocked my speed , and I am on a LAN at my house. will this be able to allow me to run a LAN server on halo, or do I need a faster speed?

That number represents your download speed, the speed at which you get info from the Internet. Your upload speed is what determines how player you can support on a server. Typical home connections average 300kbs upload speed which would allow 4-5 player on the server before you started getting bad lag.

you will be ok with 1.5mbs.

The only issue is when dial up connect because there max download speed is 56kbs. about half a mega-byte.

My download speed is 6mb my upload is 300kbs and I have never had problems in games unless it was a bad server.

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.

maybe I confused you but I meant would my speed allow me to have a T1/LAN speed (16 players) on a server with minimal lag.
