I see lots of the "SpeedTest" signatures under peoples names so it got me thinking.

How many Mega Bits per second UP does a game like Halo: Reach require to play well online?
The reason I specify UP, is because most people have at least 1 MB (apx 10 MBPS)DOWN.

Most of the sigs I see have people with less than 10 Mega Bits=1 MegaByte connection.

I recently saw someone with a 4.09. That means you are getting .500 Mega BITS/ half a megabyte UP.

I don't exactly have a great understanding of this so that is why I am asking.

Hello syle well ive expierienced almost every internet connenction there is and in my expirience ive seen that to actually have a good connection means that you can host games like cod or halo and it seems that you need between 5 to 10 megabytes to do so. dont wrry about upload speed its the ping latency and download thats important thats confusing isnt it ok so in short 10 megabytes is good connection and upload speed doesent matter

My connection is fine even though the speedtests rate it 2 stars. I do not think those are very accurate..
