Community ManagerThe connection requirement states 512Kbits/s, this equates to ~230Megabytes/h.
Tethering via mobile is not advised.
Thanks.
My internet runs at about 2mbit download and 1mbit upload w/ 80-100 ping and the game still refuses to work on my internet.

MBit is not a megabyte. your connection 2mbit = 125kb x 2 = 250 KB a second which is about half of the required bandwidth for the game.
2 mb is terrible you will need 10mb 4g connection to play 50 ping means yr just close to the server ..this game eats DATA like no thing i have seen before
- @ididntrushb well its no wonder it doesn't work with that kind of internet. Can you even load a webpage? 2 megabits is nothing, and 80-100 ping is terrible.
