My Internet has 15Mbps with a 1.0 Mbps download speed. Can I run SL?

[K31k0]

My internet service plan is currently 15Mbps with a 1.0Mbps download speed.  Will I be able to run SL or should I switch plans?

Thank you in advance.

That's rather slow for SL...but try it and see!  Upgrade your plan if you have problems.

Hi K31k0,

I think you mean that you have 15Mbps down and 1Mbps up, which is exactly the service I've had for all of my seven years in SL. Bandwidth has never been an issue for me.

Backing up Maddie, 15Mbps is more than enough to enjoy SL. You'll see grey people occaisionally, but even complex scenes will fully render given about a minute.

The minimum recommended for SL is 5Mbps on a 10:1 (that's 10x speed down, as the speed you get up - 15:1 fits this) DSL plan.
