Is it possible to access Xbox Live using a bridged connection from eduroam?

    So after learning last week that Xbox Live, steam, and commerical VPN's were banned on UCD wireless, I had resigned myself to the fact that I was never playing any online gaming until I basically had my own place and paid for my own internet. This is because my internet at home is complete and utter garbage and fiber optic internet won't be arriving for at least another year.

    However there is hope. I recently discovered eduroam, which I have connected to successfully and steam games work fine. I'm more interested in getting Xbox Live though. I learned that you can bridge internet from a laptop to an xbox, but I'm wondering if xbox live will be blocked if I try to use my laptop connected to eduroam. Steam works fine, so I see no reason why xbox live would be blocked. Eduroam can't be connected to on xbox because you need to sign in, so hopefully that is the only barrier. I have a strong feeling though that xbox live will be blocked because UCD are assholes, and the concept of actually having fast internet for once in my life seems too good to be true.

    Is there anyone who has done this, or can provide some help?

    Does that mean you have really high ping on ps4?

    I measured about 14mbps up and 10mbps down on eduroam, if I connect it to my Xbox and the speed drops like yours did, I'm worried it might become terrible.
