....and and did you need a new modem or use the supplied one?

 

Zen which are great, best to connect via a router

 

Wanadoo / Orange.

just plugged the ethernet cable that came with the 360 into the livebox and bobs your uncle - straight on first time.

 

NTL

Ethernet cable into my Linksys wireless router, never had any probs...

 

How much you paying if you dont mind me asking?

 

at the mo it's £18 a month but that was on an old tariff when you had to pay a little extra for the wireless router.

Now you get the wireless box free and the broadband free if you have a orange mobile on contract for £30 a month

Connection speed is only 2mb though - but I've never had any online gaming problems because of it though, and I only get a 512k line cos I'm a country bumpkin out in the sticks. I only got broadband in for the 360 really, even though the connection speed is miserly - its never restricted me from playing anything with anyone - the only thing it does hinder is how many you can play with when the game sets you as the host, so far the only game that does this is GRAW - but I play with a few americans with super duper connections who can do 16 no probs.

 

Pipex,

But I bought a wireless Netgear Router DG something ? bit of setup on the ports but fine ever since (December 05)
