You'll have enough.

HTML messages are really annoying.

Greetings,

Most of Messenger's functions are designed to work on as slow as a 28.8 dialup connection -
but they won't work that wonderfully.

Both video and audio capabilities have different "modes" in order to accommodate both slow
and fast connections.

So what exactly are you looking to do? Really, a standard broadband connection in most of
the world will get you decent Messenger performance for basic chat and audio.

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your reply. Besides audio, we try to use video and may be
whiteboard function also. Can a 2M speed broadband handle this?

Hi,

Yep, should be fine really with that. Although any real bottleneck is usually the upload
speed, since it's slower.
