Im sure he would like to see you sorted, he does seem to care like that. I keep meaning to send the CEO an email about him praising how he handled it all but Im always too busy, I plan to sort it over the weekend as he deserves it.

After downloading various films I can confirm that the errors were indeed due to a bad line as they are now perfect,even though some techs said there was nothing was wrong with the line this proves otherwise. Im sure I remember you saying your equipment was near the tv etc so its worth looking in to, you obviously had a line fault but that may have been fixed with the upload congestion, could be your line is perfect but its probs at your end.

Anyhow, I'll be heading to you in Sept to see you work your magic on my 2 duff x boxes, would be cool to kick ya ass on a different console
Yo speedy, what happened to you last night,,,, I chucked you 4 or 5 invites to MW2 but you never joined.... I can only pressume you were scared

Ive had a good sort out behind my TV, and moved things around whilst re routing the vm cabling and making sure there are no kinks in the coax etc.

Yet I,m still seeing the same issues as before, but at least at the moment its usable, there has definitely been an improvement in the upstream just these damn lag spikes, although frequent only last for a brief moment. although I cant rule out my end completely I would have thought that interference from near by equipment would effect the downstream as well but that never returns any packet loss.

I tried to relocate the modem but the coax isn't long enough.......so I've just moved it as far away as possible for now, I will bypass the router later tonight to see if it makes a difference, fingers crossed.

I will look forward to you coming round next month, but Ive no guarantees with your xbox's, they are built like crap and don't always respond well to open heart surgery.

I might be on later and if your about I will chuck you an invite, but go easy speedy I,m not a wipper snapper like you
