For those of you who have no access to cable or dsl broadband access, according to MS you can't play online. Sat. service is nationwide but I think the distance it has to travel would create a larger lag if you have two way. I was thinking that modem users may still be able to play online. If you have a 56K modem and network card it may work. You could connect your pc modem and dial up the internet and use internet connection sharing wizzard to share it to the network card and then connect your xbox to the pc's network card. The xbox would think it connect to an internet connection via the network card. I'm not sure how much bandwith is actually needed. I'm sure it would work but if it really does require a lot of bandwith then it probally wouldn't work well. I guess you could get online with your xbox if you wanted to download updates at the very least. Just an idea to throw around..
