Basically, I'm looking for a broadband service which provides a deal that is compatable with Xbox Live, uses ADSL (so I can be on the phone at the same time) and is 512Kbs or higher. So what are the best deals and what are you guys most pleased with?
I'll be doing my own research too, but nothing beats good old consumer advice/opinion.
Speed is good
mmmm

Download Dr TCP and then set the network card to the MTU. That will work for PC, but I dont actually think Routers have built in MTU as its dealt with the PC.
There is a problem regarding it with Xbox Live...
Currently on a new broadband server now. Sorted.

A USB ADSL or Cable modem is all you need (plus microfilters for the phone sockets on ADSL). Shouldn't be limited by hardware for broadband, my old 900MHz AMD and 128MB of RAM managed just fine.
It isn't that difficult really, shouldn't take more than half an hour. Might be worth your while buying one out a PC shop, then you won't have to pay several quid on postage. Also you get it that day.
