Clicksilver XBOX live performance

kali_mist · 2004-11-30 11:18:57

Folks, IVe signed up for clicksilver (ethernet modem). Im going to be using it primarily for XBoxLive. Im hearing a lot of horror stories about ping times etc with this service. I hear others saying that once you play on english servers the performance is the same as IOL or eircom. Apparently UTL does not connect directly…

Folks,
IVe signed up for clicksilver (ethernet modem). Im going to be using it primarily for XBoxLive. Im hearing a lot of horror stories about ping times etc with this service.
I hear others saying that once you play on english servers the performance is the same as IOL or eircom. Apparently UTL does not connect directly to INEX like IOL or Eircom but most bounce off London first, adding about 10ms. (No I dont know much about it)
Has anyone got any good/bad experiences of using XBoxLive with clicksilver?
Cheers
Mick

It'll work fine. UTV pings are fine (~40ms to uk, ~50 for ireland, 50-70 for europe). Basically as good as you're going to get with any other ISP. They had problems about 6 months ago with latency issues, but it's been fixed a long time.

Are you using the USB or ethernet modem?

Use the ethernet modem, all USB ones are useless.
