what i am to understand is it will be a broadband connection. meaning cable or dsl, any provider will do seeing as the xbox will have an eithernet port. they wont provide the connection so u will have to suscribe to one. most people already have dsl or cable so this shouldnt cause a huge problem.

Uh....no.Everyone in this area uses dial-up modems(We don't have the broadband service or Internet-via-cable where I live.).

Some people can't get broadband,others don't want it.
