XBox and IOL BB? Performance?

Xcellor · 2004-02-24 17:58:43

Im just wondering how Xbox performs using IOL BB especially with the pings being so high (now they are OK... averaging around 30ms). It's laughable that IOL bb is the official BB provider for the Xbox in Ireland and they are suffering from network problems nearly every day... Any comments? Xcellor

When do you use your BB the most in the evening, daytime?

just to drag this up.

Played XBOX live last night from 7pm, till about 11pm. Played mainly Project Gotham 2, with 2 Xboxes, and one xbox had a guest player also (so thats 3 connections to LIVE) - no lag issues at all, hosted a few games, and plenty people joined in.

BUT - a friend connected to the game, was using IOL and he kept getting disconnected from XBOX live.....I think it was router issues at his end though
