xbox live question...

hi guys, i've posted on gamefaqs but would like your input as well.

i wanna get into this xbox live stuff. i'm planning on getting dsl from yahoo for $26.95/month. these are their stats:

downstream - 384kbps to 1.5 mbps
upstream - 128 kbps

would these be enough to play live?

besides dsl connection and xbox live, what other items would i need to get things running?

thanks a bunch

you won't be able to host game very well, but it is still possible.
Just not with the maximum amount of people allowed per Live game.

You may want to get a router, so you can share the DSL line with your computer.

other than that, you will be set.
