..but what is the best Broadbnd package?

With these considerations -

*Xbox live - it runs fine on it
*Not extortionate
*Main use 5-10pm, but certainly daytime as well at points...

Once Upon a Time there was a small town in East Suffolk which, does not have broadband capability yet the even smaller town 3 miles up the road does.

The End

Thats my story

I cant, our registrations are at 228 at the moment, but the trigger is 400.

And thats with registering over 100 people from the phonebook...

Haven't a clue.
:-D

Ok thanks azul I am using 56kps which is very annoying for my internet games.
Why cant broadband be as cheap as narrowband then I wont have to be anticipating the lag whilest snipind on a ridge in delta force.
Damn people and servers and internet why did they have to put it on computers it was fine on books.

At least you can all get broadband

*Sobs*

Hoho.

What does the Xbox live like?
Quite comfortably, I'd imagine.
Though I suppose sitting on a desk all day isn't much fun.
Highlights of the day'd be getting controllers thrown at you, and getting kicked and so forth.

I think you're a little confused.

56k (a 'standard' connection, using a 56k modem. Most likely what you'll be on) is considered "narrowband", ie, low bandwidth. Which makes sense.

It's generally slow.

Whereas Broadband is.... broadband.
It's supermega fast, and uses optical fibre technology to send signals up to 40/50 odd times faster than 56k.

It's a lot more expensive though, and that includes the hardware needed and so forth.
