    Can you hard wire it? (i.e. plug in the lan cable from your modem to your Xbox)? Even temporarily to check the speeds?

    oh, your broadband on your PC runs fast, but on XBL it's slow? I assume you're using wireless....Could you plug your LAN into your Xbox and see if XBL runs faster?

    If it does, it means your wireless reception/signal in your house is weak. Mine's really weak, even though they're close enough together. Hopefully the solution is a long LAN cable and not one of those really expensive Xbox wireless adapters with the two prongs!!

    by LAN do you mean an ethernet cable?..also (not sure if it matters) but i used to have eircom and the distance from the router to xbox was twice as far as where the router is now so what would that mean?

    i mean the thick gray cable with the ends that look like a telephone connector input

    Ha lol found a pic. Plug that into your Xbox and see if XBL runs faster?

    My apartment is like a concrete block, wireless is pretty crappy in it. So the farther away a computer is to my modem (by wireless) the worse the signal. I hardwire (i.e. connect via cables) the comp and XBL.
