Just a quickie on Xbox LIVE! ...
I presume that Freeola's Broadband service is compatible?
Also, to play on Xbox LIVE! do I HAVE to go through my PC, or can I just link straight into my phone socket?
Cheers,

Sorry for the delay in replying. Yes, Freeola Broadband ADSL will be compatible with all three of the console multiplayer services and it's much the situation that Adrian reports below.
We'll be issuing more detailed information when we've had the opportunity to test.

Itshould be compatiable. The only one I know of which isnt is AOL.
You will need to go through a Network Card(NIC) on your PC and share the ADSL connection in the setup. You could opt for a Router instead of a Modem and then you could plug the ADSL into the Router and have your PC plugged in via a NIC and then plug in the XBox. A Router will allow you to use XBox Live without your PC being turned on. You wont be able to plug the XBox straight into the socket on the wall as its ADSL and it needs some sort of modem. So its basically either a Modem and a NIC or a Router. Both are easy to set up, a router may be good if you dont want your PC on or you need to share the internet with other PCs. But with most ADSL places you get a USB modem so you might as well opt for the NIC and plug your XBox into your PC as it will be cheap to do so.
You wont be able to get XBox Live just yet. Xbox.com were selling them but they stopped Febuary 14th. The good news is that it will be available in shops from March 14th so not a long wait.
