"Xbox + freeserve = Online?"

I recently got the freeserve broadband service thats available in dixons. This finally means i can get broadband in my neighbourhood. Here is a quick thought though,

Since my telephone is converted into both analogue and digital lines, and a filter is used to seperate them, would my xbox brodband modem be able to use the digital line?

Theoretically, i can't see any problems, but since i'm not an expert I thought i'd seek confirmation.

Anybody got any help/ideas???

I have cable internet had one prolonged downtime which was half an hour which was just our street and last night lost connection for about a second because of email problems they have been having but can complain its an amazing service

Cheers for the info Res. Pipex is quite abit cheaper than BT and Freeserve, so I may get Pipex. Still have abit of time to make up my mind as if I can get it, it wont be until later this month.

oh and i've had it for errr must be 2 months ish but my other cousin had it longer and never had any probs

no no and no

been great and it's always on and connection is fast

How long have you had it? And how has the service been, any down time or times where connetion speeds were poor?

i'm on Pipex, fast i've downloaded at 65K/s and that's about max i think for home user, buisness packages go up to 2mb/s

Mine's all good, but then, different areas have different line qualities don't they?

Alright for some. I can't get cable round my end, so this was the only option (the only affordable one, anyway).

I got cable installed within a week of asking and no hassle installed the network card etc without me being there and loving being faster than everyone else hehehhe
