Hey Sav have you got a spare Network card in your PC? If so use that with ICS, works a treat and really easy to set up. Have you got a USB modem?

Not a bad speed, I get around 465. Usually download at 60k/s solid. Kazaa can be annoying as it counts on you downloading from other people. Sometimes you can only get 3 or 4 k/s from them. Still way better than 56K modems. Our exchange was upgraded at the begining of June this year so I ordered it pretty much straight away.

I'm assured by the guy the cable will be here soon, so I'm going to wait for it to arrive. I'm all hooked up to Braodband and getting excellent speeds - averaging about 440 at moment. Already put it to the test on Kazaa.....I cannot wait 1 year for CSI Miami to get an airing over here ! :) 1 episode - 115mb - took just under 40 mins. Great :)

Also thought of several Gamertags

Glad I didn't wait till I got the communicator - looks like I'm gonna need a more X-Box friendly router. What a pain in the ar5e.
I'll have to pick one up at the end of this week. Ugh.

Nope, but I've got my broadband kit, and all I can say is god knows why I waited this long to get broadband, it's excellent ! :) Well worth all the cash and effort, BTW guy I bought cable from off Ebay says it's in the post so once it turns up I can get on Xbox Live, minus the communicator until my kit comes - I have Unreal and Mech Assault so its no prob, in fact I'm V.tempted to go out this afternoon and find a cable so I can be on tonight !

I think that you can order the kit from November 29th now and not the 30th.

:P @Silent85 :)

Anyway, MS have slightly updated the site now and the link http://www.xbox.com/uk/live/now just leads to the testdrive info page, also MS have corrected the URL for the Testdrive FAQ as well.
