360 internet connection??? PaRp'age NAT

[^Katsu]

Who / what is the best internet connection for 360? & is it the service provider or the router that decides the NAT setting issue? As I need to be allowed to go on LIVE with all my friends list

Was considering talk talk, however tesco.net did a ok job last time round?
Basically I dont got a clue

I use pipex 1meg, and have never had a problem.

As far as NAT is concerned, you can change your port forwarding on your router to allow open access. A friend pointed me to http://portforward.com and it did a great job.

A lot of my m8s having problems with Forza 2 and all getting into the same races. Apparently related to this.

May be of help...

With my setup I cannot get better than a moderate NAT if I use manual settings and port fowarding. I get the best results with everything set to auto and UPnP enabled.

Hmmm, looking like Be could be an option high upload speeds, and download, and unlimited... ?

Will be moving 2mo, be quick with the replies my gaming brothers & sisters

I'm with Be and have been since last Summer. Haven't got a bad word to say about 'em tbh.

Yep, i'm with Be (on their unlimited option). Not only are they bloody great in all other departments that matter, my NAT setting for 360 is 'Open' too
Don't touch TalkTalk with a ****ing barge pole mate, i was with them and they were absolutely shocking in every way possible.

I'm with BE* too. The local exchange (Burnley) hasn't been enabled that long, connection has gone down about 5 times since activation, i.e. in the past couple of months, which I think is poor.

However when you contact customer support, they give far superior support to that of other ISPs.

Avoid TalkTalk, Tiscali and Pipex, IMO.

Its the router that decides your NAT status not the ISP.

I have a list of good routers on my site:- www.xboxlivetheguide.co.uk
