Will Xbox live work on a 128kbps broadband connection? I was wondering because the prices of high speed are extremely high and i would prefer not to spend 30 quid a month on 600kbps connection. If any of you would be able to tell me a less-than-20-quid broadband connection id appreciate it.

I can see what you posted but I can not see it anywhere on XBox.com. Are you looking at the US or UK site? The best thing would be for you to email or ring up Microsoft and ask if 128K ISDN or cable work.

adrien, look at the text I quoted from xbox.com a few posts down, it says ISDN works.
I found the text in the glossary of words which expains the meanings of the techincal stuff.

I'd like to see if you can manage it with 128kb/s...
It would be good if you could, just don't host games and you'd laughing!

No as I have a USB modem and am fine dialing into the ADSL connection. XBox Live is suppose to run tests to stop people with low speed connections connection to XBox Live. Because in theory you could hook up you XBox to your PC and then have nothing but a 56K modem running the internet. As you share the internet connection with the XBox you would run XBox Live on a 56K modem. Wonder if anyone has tried it yet? But I have read that Microsoft do speed checks on your connection as well as the ping. So trying a 56K connection may not pass these tests where as a 128K connection might.

If your PC can connect to the internet without dialing you are fine. This might require an Ethernet capable modem if you have a USB modem that has to dial 0.

Cant find anything on the site saying 128K works. It may but just be warned that you will get limited games due to the lower bandwidth. Hosting games will probably be a issue with only a small number(3 of 4) of players being able to connect to you without lag.

'ang on a sec. The Xbox Live FAQ says 128k will work with Xbox Live!
Here's the chuck of text " high-speed Internet service: Provides Internet service at speeds much faster than dial-up modems.
Note Dial-up (ISDN) is supported by Xbox Live. The most common types of high-speed Internet service use cable "
So then 128k will work? That is what ISDN is, right?
