For those in the UK, what's your internet download speeds? I have a UK friend who's hesitation to join Delta because he thinks his speeds is too slow(7mbit) to compete in a stable lobby.

I honestly haven't got a clue what my up and download speed is. I've just done a check on my mobile and I've got 18mb download. However i don't know what's needed for xbox. Best thing to do is join in and play. If he lags like crazy, he's too slow
There so much more than speed, the ping makes a massive difference and of course the surrounding area and exchange capacities at peak times. Even those with whopping download speeds sometimes get lag issues from time to time. Best way is to test it and see.
Mines wonderful. 200 down and 12 up I love it, downloading anything is nice and quick.
But like most things Internet speed is not the be all end of. I have a friend in Ireland that has 40 down and 10 up but he can't connect to most parties and when he does he'll lag out within a few minutes. He also lags like hell when racing to the point sometimes that your afraid of going within 100 feet. He's done port forwarding etc but nothings worked.
So your friend might be fine, he might not be, the only way to see which it is, is by testing.

Your ping (or latency) will usually have a larger effect on stability in an online lobby but generally the higher the speed of the connection the better/smaller the latency. of course this will change depending where you are connecting to eg. someone in the UK connecting to s server in California will see a much higher latency/ping than someone in say, New York etc
I'm on a 200Mb fibre connection with 206Mb download and 36Mb upload

The xbox live advice for internet connections for xbox live state that 4Mb is the slowest stable speed for online playing but does recommend 20mb+
