Chris The Rock Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 I went to Broadbandreports.com and got a report saying my Download/Upload speed was 2441 / 437. Tested it at 9:30PM EST. I don't think I believe it. It sounds better than I thought. I have standard cable broadband with Bright House Networks. Does any one know a good place to test? If it is correct, is this a good speed for hosting XBL games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Chris, I moved your topic to the General Xbox section as the Live section is for scheduling games. To answer your question, Broadband Reports is a good site to check your bandwidth. With your results you can host some good sized rooms, but probably not say a 16 player RS3 or RtCW match.

Derrik Draven Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 There's an undocumented trick you can do with your Xbox controller. Well, at least I THINK it's undocumented. Anyhoo...run the Xbox Live troubleshooter. When it gets done testing your cables, DNS info, IP Config...then tells you that your're connected to Live. Well. just hit the "Y" button on your controller. It pulls up a detailed little window showing up and down speeds, your latency and how many packets were sent.

hollismb Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 The tests at dslreports.com are way more accurate and reliable than the craptastic live menu test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 From my understanding the Xbox test is used to determine your connection quality (latency). It only sends a few packets so bandwidth speeds aren't accurate at all. My connection is 3300/256 but my Xbox comes back with 7600/9900 all the time. When I ping XboxLive.com I get about the same as my Live tests though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
