I got this from digital spy:

Telewest has announced it intends to ask 500 customers to take part in supported trials of Xbox Live on its Blueyonder network, so that the ISP can determine the best way of connecting Blueyonder customers to the service.

Interested customers may register their interest at http://xbox.blueyonder.co.uk/ though they will need to meet the following criteria:

512kbps or 1Mbps Blueyonder customer for six months
Own an Xbox console
Already applied for an Xbox Live test pack from Microsoft

Customers who are selected to take part in the network-wide trials will receive a hardware pack, including a hub and extra cables, plus an additional IP address and support information. Over the course of the trial, Telewest will gather feedback in preparation for the full launch of Xbox Live, expected in March 2003.

Chad Raube, Telewest's director of internet services, said: "We want to find the best way to connect the Xbox with our Blueyonder broadband internet service. There are currently a number of options and our trial will help develop a one-stop-shop for gaming hardware and support."

"We are going to hook up with up to 500 customers who are taking part in the Xbox Live test drive and provide the additional tools to connect their broadband service to their PC and Xbox at the same time. This trial approach will help ensure that blueyonder delivers the ultimate Xbox Live experience, with speeds up to 1Mbps and plug-and-play simplicity."
