It annoys me that I keep seeing news feeds like this. It is great to see that they are improving the xbox live service further... It however annoys me due to the fact that my line speed (broadband) is below 1 mb most of the time. Supposedly BT tell me that my maximum line speed is 1.3mb but generally speaking it is below that. I get download speeds of 50kb/per second at best. I cannot make use of any of these services and it just makes me angry.



This isn't exactly aimed at anyone here but I'm hoping I can find someone who knows something about broadband in rural areas and could perhaps advise me what service to move to. Is anyone here tech-savy? Does mobile broadband such as Orange or 3 provide a good enough service for gaming and buffering videos?

I had an orange mobile broadband a few years ago and I couldn't stream anything, course that was a few years ago, the service they provide may have improved since then. I believe the writer of this article is quite the tech expert
