I don't think I've had an internet connection that does not meet that requirement since 1999.

I mentioned this in the PS4 thread. There are many instances where people would be without internet connection for an extended period of time. Last 2 times I moved I had to wait at least a week for the cable/internet to be hooked up. Not being able to play my single player console games would have sucked. Last year when the Shaw building caught fire thousands in the city were affected and without internet for days, and construction hitting a cable or fiber line by accident does happen and leaves entire areas without internet. And what about the millions of rural residents in the US and Canada? Are they just #### out of luck because broadband internet isn't available in their area or is very intermittent at best?
It's an asinine policy, and you know that. I get that you're a Microsoft employee, but defending such a ridiculous practice is kinda making you look like a shill
