Hi does anybody know if a 3mb digiweb broadband package be any use for play xbox live. would I get away with eircoms 2mb package. Any help would be appreciated as Im unsure what speed would be suitable.

I have 2mb BB and its fine. It's not really a massive thing to worry about.

The rep at digiweb was trying to tell me that anything under 3mb was to slow is this just waffle to sucker me in. I would prefer to go with the eircom 2mb package.

go with the eircom 2 meg as thats more reliable , i had eircom for years and used it with live with no problems only switched when ntl was available in my area.

I'm Xbox live in my house on the 2mb Ericom connection with no problems whatsoever. The 3mb is pure waffle.

make sure the upload speed is at leat 256k, the higher upload the better for playing online!

YEAh that guy was lying to you. many poeple played BF2 on a 512Kb connection and that is likely going to be far more demanding then any 360 game.

Many thanks for all your replies. I reckon i will go ahead with eircom so

the package doesn't really matter what you need to be worried about is latency.

But as you can't really choose what "server" e.g. who's xbox you play on bar when playing with friends it really doesn't matter.
