What's the definition of broadband?

Question

According to Diablo 3 System Requirements, we need a broadband connection.

• What qualifies as "Broadband"?
• Does DSL-3Mb connection count?
• What could possibly be the issue with Wireless?

Answer

Usually broadband just means "not dialup". If you have even the lowest end DSL, it'll probably be playable, and anything faster than a megabit should be more than sufficient. I played the open beta on a 1mb/s connection without any problems.

And wireless just tends to be buggy, especially with stuff like this where a few lost packets can make you jump around the screen and lag a lot. Putting in a caveat about wireless is just a way for them to wash their hands of your local network problems.
