Internet Speed for Apple TV

I'm considering getting an Apple TV. But I only get around 2.2-2.5mbps (I live in a pretty remote area).

Is that sufficient to stream things such as Netflix? HD or SD?

Thanks

When I first installed the ATV2 I only had 3mbps. Netflix worked but because it provides a signal based on your speed the resolution was just OK. iTunes movies in HD took hours and I had to call up and increase my speed. Now at about 12 or 13 Mbps I get really nice, instant Netflix ( with only the odd glitch) and the iTunes content can be watched in seconds. This is much better than I ever got with the original ATVs obviously. With those it would often take us close to two hours to watch a rental. I only wished I had I creased the speed years ago, although I don't think it was available too long ago.

So, if you can't increase your speed you will have to have patience. There is no way for you to get better service?
