Question

I am in an absolute confused pickle regards internet speed, how much i need for a good second life experience.
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz (2400 MHz)
Memory: 8192 MB
OS Version: Mac OS X 10.12.0 Darwin 16.0.0 Darwin Kernel Version 16.0.0: Mon Aug 29 17:56:20 PDT 2016; root:xnu-3789.1.32~3/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 320M OpenGL Engine
My graphics card is not good, but I can not change it. I do have a SSD, but not sure if or how that helps.
I am in an absolute confused pickle regards internet speed, how much i need for a good second life experience. For the last five years I have had an ok connection but it was often very laggy at some of my favourite places. Maybe I had 24mbps but I am not sure how fast it was in reality, because it was ADSL and I do not live close to the exchange etc.
Then another company put cable down my street last month and I plumped for it. I don’t get the 200mbps speed they promised me because I find out my computer can’t take it, but I do get between 72-90mbps.
But this New cable company have messed me around massively, failing to give me a phone line, charging me for installation and phone services they were not providing and charging me 50% more because they failed to add the phone thus breaking their bundle package and then via several phone calls crediting my account in confusingly ways. And I can’t reduce my bill because of the fact the speed I am getting is half of that promised.
Is a speed like 80mbps useful for second life, does fast down load it make any difference?
I am half way through cancelling old company who are now offering 32mbps but thats ADSL again.
