Re: Xbox 360?

Are you asking how is the Internet browsing experience on the Xbox 360? There isn't any, because it has no internet browser...

1 edit		 err....

I'm not exactly sure what you mean.

Live services on the 360 work as well as you would expect them to, limited to your connection speed of course. Not counting the occasional problem with Live itself naturally. But really, why would you expect problems? Teksavvy doesn't degrade service based on the client or anything.

If you're talking about actually getting the Internet on a 360, you can't. It has no browser. PS3 or Wii for that, though they are both pretty crappy.

Live only gives you access to Microsoft's download services (movies, tv, demos, games etc.) chat services and multiplayer gaming.

As long as you don't have packetloss, it should be fine.

Scrappy2 away

@cgocable.net		 The 360 has worked fine over xbox live for me.
I've had tek since November.
I only ever remember 1 time where I had any sort of lag.
Halo 3 works great!!!
Although too bad Tek can't help me not suck at Halo on xbox live!

Re: Xbox 360?

My 360 works great online. I personally don't have any problems playing against people in NHL 2008 or Front Lines.

Anyone else excited for the 29th and GTA4? It's online as well.

NHL 08?!
Looks like we need to setup a match between us

As for XBL & lag, I have had teksavvy for around a year and have not lagged on it yet. I have played people on Bell & Rogers & all over the world without an issue.

Buti f you want lower pings get the premium account from teksavvy which is ever so slightly better for online games.

Yes you do. Best way to do it is buy a card from FS/BB I think they run around $60 for a full year

 My gamer tag is Guspaz, but I don't have any sports games. I just have:

Beautiful Katamari
Condemned 2
Halo 3
Forza/Marvel (came with xbox, never played)
Undertow (and expansion)
Guitar Hero 3

I think that's all my games that have multiplayer. I have Rez HD and Condemned, don't think they have multi.

True, but I think mine is getting worse.

it happened a bunch of times to be last night while i was playing Single Player & MP. I'm just getting really fed up with it. You would think they would try the game on a 360/PS3 console and find these dam bugs before shipping it out.

I played a few hours last night with no problems...It sucks that all you guys are going through this with GTA IV. No lock ups, no anything.

Again though I have an older system.

maybe you can mod your xbox and add a extra fan or buy those external fans for it.
