What are the minimum requirements for internet?
For doing what?
56k dialup.
64k ISDN
I was looking for the upload speed for flightaware reader. Thanks edgy I do believe you answered my question. Wanted to make sure I had a high enough upload speed without having to upgrade my connection.
I have a pretty busy setup and 64kb/s would be enough for me.

Yep, you need something like 1-2kB/s upstream for non-mlat and up to maybe 10kB/s for mlat (but only that much on very busy sites, more typical is 2-3kB/s)
Typically 10-32kbps (kilobits/second) for ADS-B, and not more than 128kbps at the busiest sites with MLAT.
