ok so im going over my friends dorm in a few days and he asked me to bring my xbox so we could play online, the thing is his internet speed is 256 Kb/s(Download) and 120 Kb/s (Upload) and i mean compared to my 5 MB that is absolutelly nothing, so is that speed enough to get into a match? (halo3, rsv2, cod4, rockband,geow) i know hosting is out of the question, but will the matches be playable? or will it lag a lot?

I used to have 256 DL and it worked fine for me, except when you DL Demos, its takes forever. We now have I think 1.5 MBPS (DSL kinda sucks in my area), but its fine now and it's not like i need all that speed... I mean unless I wanna show off on GS like those cool cats with their DL speeds in their sigs...
