    I have recently got 150mb broadband and have found out that my laptop can only handle about 50mb as its old according to the company and i only have a basic wlan card. but I also have a newish xbox (as in about 2 years old, the one that is set up for kinect). so what i wanna know is can this handle 150mb speeds or am i wasting my money?

    The 360s has a wireless N 2.4ghz card built in so it will handle it. The thing is though, online gaming isn't really related to the 150mb number you have posted up. That relates to download speeds and online gaming doesn't need a huge amount relative to say, streaming 1080p movies or even using your Sky Player.

    The most important thing for online gaming is latency and ping times and it's hard to really know how your broadband is fairing pinging to specific servers apart from the eyeball test, ie. I ****ing shot that guy in the face and could see blood coming out of him but he seems to still have 100% health in that killcam.
