xbox live down for anyone

justsomebloke

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

never mind it seems to be randomly coming back on now

Captain Chaos

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

Service Status on the site says

But I can't connect to live at all

Meesared

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

MiniNukinfuts

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.

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!

Seriously, have had no trouble at all!

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

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

Heh Virgin having issues with Live NEVER! /sarcasm

Notorious97

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

Meesared

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

Static M.e.

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

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

MiniNukinfuts

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

Meesared

It doesnt take anywhere near as long with the new dash

MiniNukinfuts

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

Meesared

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

MiniNukinfuts

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.

Meesared

Mine takes less than 5 minutes with 30,000 Gamerscore

MiniNukinfuts

dayum that's quick, it might be an error on MS's side maybe.

Meesared

It did used to take 30 minutes on the old system

brianregan09

Well its goin on/off for me nw what a pain in the hole this never happend b4 i put netflix on da xbox

super_furry

On UPC and can't get in at all, everything else is fine.

dmullaney

Ditto, tried talking with xbox support on twitter... They're ****

MiniNukinfuts

have ye tried to enter manual DNS entries? Try using openDNS or google DNS

dmullaney

yea i tried using google DNS, not OpenDNS - no help.

dmullaney

Mine seems to be coming up fine but dies one I try to sign into Netflix.. Really odd

MiniNukinfuts

out of interest, are you using the standard UPC modem? Have you got another router attached to it?

mayordenis

mines ****ed too also upc. Just today, and possibly last night.

dmullaney

Mines the standard Thompson upc modem/router

I reckon its probably some new packet shaping policy on the upc side. They'll probably fix it soon enough

MiniNukinfuts

AFAIK, there's a check box on the modem's configuration settings which did this to me sometimes, i disabled it and my live stopped dropping. I think it's called "IP flood detection". Try doing a ping test on pingtest.net, try one before and after disabling that setting. You could try disabling the firewall too, but do this at your own risk, make sure all your computers have virus protection if you do this.

mayordenis

I know you're just trying to help, but I've been on xbox live for 5 years or so, this isn't a little troubleshotting on our end it's a change made by UPC or XBL, I haven't been having a raft of issues, just me and someone else have as of today not been able to connect.

MiniNukinfuts

It was most certainly a change on MS's end, they had post a tweet a week ago saying that live is working intermittently with some european ISPs. I posted a link on the first page of this thread.

Nope its not, its working fine for me, and that was just Virgin, noone else, and it has since been fixed.
