xbox live down for anyone

justsomebloke · 26-12-2011 11:55pm #1

just wondering is xbox live down for anyone else at the moment? The network test is getting to the internet but failing on the connection to xbox live.

justsomebloke · 26-12-2011 11:58pm

never mind it seems to be randomly coming back on now

I'm with UPC and I'm having all sorts of issues tonight and this afternoon. Random 503 errors on boards, laggy youtube playback and other webpage time outs on other sites. The o2 network is very slow too all day, any apps I try to use on my phone take an age to load up and have time out errors.

I haven't got near XBL yet but I think it's all related.

I just tried to log on to Xbox Live now and it wouldn't connect. Tested the connection and it came up that there is an issue with accounts and to go to xbox.com/servicealerts.

It's saying there...

"Users may experience difficulties with the following services:

Anyone know what's going on because I can't seem to log on at all!?

Here is a handy link to check in the future if it is a service problem or just on your end

Been up and down all day for me. No COD and no Netflix. Just can't log in or say in

Meesared · 17-01-2012 1:19am

Been fine for me

MiniNukinfuts · 17-01-2012 1:35am

There is currently a service alert, it's been there all afternoon for me. http://support.xbox.com/en-IE/xbox-live-status

That has been there since Sunday, and it shouldnt affect your ability to connect to Live

MiniNukinfuts · 17-01-2012 12:08pm

it affected mine, and a few of my XBL friends. it's weird though as it says it's only to functions on xbox.com.

DaveNoCheese · 17-01-2012 12:12pm

Mine was up and down all day yesterday. Would not connect to live at all, retarted my modem and that solved the issue for a few hours.

Took another half hour of it disconnecting and reconnecting before finally holding last night. Pain in the hole!

Really? Thats annoying! Yesterday morning we were trying to watch netflix and it was an error message - 'Could not connect to xbox live'.

Last night it was just disconnecting, I would reconnect, it'd be fine for like 2 mins and then disconnect once more.

Meesared · 17-01-2012 12:53pm

I was playing Deus Ex last night, then about 2 hours of Doctor Who on Netflix, and it didnt disconnect once

Missus has been on it today and no trouble. And I didnt have any trouble before yesterday. It's just really annoying when it happens! Hope it will stay ok now!

Major Nelson has RT some XBL tech guy on twitter who confirms that there is an ISP related problem causing people not being able to connect to live.

thevowel e
We're still seeing some European users have issues with LIVE, especially via Virgin. Xbox LIVE is healthy, it's an ISP issue getting to us.

Meesared · 17-01-2012 8:52pm

Heh Virgin having issues with Live NEVER! /sarcasm

Notorious97 · 18-01-2012 12:15am

Im UPC and stil cannot get into XBL, internet connects fine, pis*ing me off now

Meesared · 18-01-2012 12:28am

On UPC here and im watching Doctor Who on Netflix on my 360 right now

Static M.e. · 18-01-2012 12:13pm

On UPC, same with all yesterday.. I wish I had read this thread before I rebuilt my router two or three times..

DOC09UNAM · 18-01-2012 3:58pm

If I ever have those problems I just clear cache on the memory and redownload my profile and it normally works fine.

MiniNukinfuts · 18-01-2012 7:48pm

It takes me over 2 hours to re-download my profile, that's not really an option for me.

Meesared · 18-01-2012 9:42pm

It doesnt take anywhere near as long with the new dash

MiniNukinfuts · 18-01-2012 11:39pm

Nooope, still takes 2 and a bit hours for me.

Meesared · 19-01-2012 1:03am

Christ how long did it take you with the old system?

MiniNukinfuts · 19-01-2012 1:29am

Took anywhere between 2-3 hours, I've been onto MS lots of times over this, they really haven't a clue. I think it has to do with my gamerscore, which is just about 70,000. There's a lot of achievement history to download i'd imagine, i may be wrong though.
