A >genuine 1mb of uncontended bandwidth would suffice for anything I do. 1 megabit - what is this 2002? You're obviously not trying to shift data around in realtime, or working over a vpn all that often. I think 10 megabits should be a sensible target - the same speed 10base2 supported in the 90's. I get 12 down, 1 up, and it's perfectly usable.
