I called Xbox just now. They said 1.5 MbPs is just fine for Xbox live.
This does not mean you will have no lag at all though. It is all based on how the person who is hosting the game (I am talking about Black Ops) can connect to your internet. Since you only have 1.5 MbPs the likelihood of you hosting a game is very slim.

∙ 9y agoif you, don't have anything else pulling any bandwidth and its a WIRED connection, providing you're getting the full 1mb, then no.
try to upgrade if possible if not under the previous rules it should be ok for online play
Be aware, the bandwidth speed the ISP tells you is the MAXIMUM speed you will ever get. So it will probably average around 10% slower depending on the time of day/evening with cable. Closer to 15% loss with DSL. On that, we don't have any issues on our X-Box with 1.5Mbps DSL IF no one else uses it to download or any other high bandwidth use.
Also note that wireless, even if you have the old "b" speed, is still faster then most internet speeds so wireless shouldn't be an issue. (of course you shouldn't be 100 feet away from the router and expect the same speed as being 10 feet away.)

How do you get Xbox live with your broadband?
If you mean get it for free using your broadband, you can't! Unlike playstation 3 you have you pay for a subscription (i.e Xbox live) and then connect to your broadband to play. Once you paid for a Xbox live membership, just scan for nearby wifi connections and connect to your router (or anyones if they have no password)

Not all ISP (internet service providers) will allow use of XBOX Live. For good quality gaming internet, consider getting AOL, Virgin Broadband or BT Internet. For best performances, its recommended to have speeds of 10 MB or faster!!

To connect to Xbox live with your Xbox 360 unit you would need to provide broadband internet service with the included ethernet cable or purchase the wireless internet adapter seperately for wireless access.
