Good can come from bad
As I posted a whil ago, my hub, i thought was not working. Now after many long hours onto ntl's back telling them to get it working, they figured out that i was only recieving one IP address  . I was paying for the second as well! And after being redirected millions of times, i met a nice girl, who fixed it  . now i can enjoy xbox live and internet at the same time, good comes from bad(but it should ne good in the 1st place anyway!)

Glad it's working again
And I hope they've credited/refunded you for the money you paid when it wasn't working!

Re: Good can come from bad
Just out of interest, is there a way I can check to see that I'm actually getting 2x IP addresses? I pay the extra fiver for it but would like to make sure.

Well if you can surf the net and use the xbox at the same time through a hub then it's working.
But you would be better off in less than 8 months by buying a router and ditching the second IP option

Not so good for live gamerz as the upload speed does not appear to be increasing at all. You will not be able to send information to the net / hosting machine any quicker.

Re: Good can come from bad
However, if you are the hosting machine, might that be better then?

Re: Good can come from bad
Data can get to your machine quicker, but you still have the same pipe to flush it away. Do a search on hear for toilets and erols great analagy

. If you cant get the positional information away to the other xboxes then hosting will still be a problem.

Definitely cheaper in the long run to use a cheap router, instead of the NTL Broadband & Console service - Even though the BB&Console price is going down.

Yup. The speed increase won't help host bigger/better games in XBL, as the upload speed is staying the same.
