Internet speed doesn't affect latency that much. It's usually the proximity of the server that counts (the closer - the better). Anyway, 1,5 megs is more than enough fo WoW, but my personal opinion - there's no such thing as too much speed :) So if you can afford 3 megs - go for it.

yeah thats ample i have 3 and really you dont notice the improvement a whole lot. basically that number is good till your connection goes to your ISP's tier 1 ISR then it changes again. they wont treat you with anything special they dont hand out "connections" they work in general terms.

actually really its the number of hops from1 destination to another and the amount of time between each.
