hi, what broadband speed do I need for xbox live. I was told 1meg would be ok but i've been having problems with fifa world cup(slugish and jumping)
1MB may work, but that is not a really fast braodband connection these dyas. Most are 2GB and above. Like mine is 5GB and it works great with no pauses or skipping. It depends a lot on your upload and download speeds. The minimum requirement listed is 64KBs/64KBs 64KBs download is a speed well below a 1MB connection. so use the internet and do a speed test on your connection and post what it gives you. http://www.dslreports.com/tools http://www.pcpitstop.com/store/optimize.asp?AdID=156706 http://www.freespeedtest.com/?xcmpx=2438
5GB!!!!??? What do you have, a hardwired T4 line into the internet backbone? The Xbox doesn't do anything faster than 100 Megabits/sec and FTP transfers don't go much faster than 8-10 Megabytes/sec. I think he means 5 Megabits/sec. Most cable modem systems can do that and this is fine for most games.
