seanmccann 3 Report post Posted January 22, 2005 I know for PS2 it is not reccamended to use satalite to play online. My guess would be that this is true for live too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MNGopherFan09 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2005 I've heard from many people that anything other than cable, the game will lag real bad. I have live set up with my cable internet and have no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCabe24 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2005 With PS2 online I use cable and it runs smooth, things lag real bad if you use something else. I wouldn't know about X-Box life but I assume it would be similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fonya 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2005 Just to clarify, you have to have dsl or cable to use xbox live, thats what makes it so much better than Ps2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leafsrule1 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2005 if going to a friends house who has high speed, could i bring my cable and hook it up and play live at his house?i dont use a router because i use the sharing thing out of my hard drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fonya 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2005 Do you mean bringing your xbox? If you had an account on ur box and you hooked it up to a dsl or cable connection it would work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have a Xbox (I have a PS2) but I hear the Xbox disconnects you when your connection speed drops significantly and isn't up to par with the minimum right? I'm not sure about this but this is what I heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
