Who is your internet service provider that you use for Xbox Live?

I'm a few days away from getting Live.
I picked up cable broadband. I originally chose Earthlink because they set up a deal with my apartment complex. But, the lines are subleased through Time Warner Road Runner. It's some weird stuff. I pay earthlink, but all the software (that I instantly uninstalled) was Road Runner. Whatever. It's highspeed. That's all I care about.

Verizon DSL it pushes 2.5Meg downstream and 1.0Meg upstream for $34.99 a month. I am going to get this wireless server in my area next month when they get the tower up. They are offering 5Meg Down and 5Meg up for $89.99 a month. I will be able to host 16 players lag free.

Well, I'm supposed to get 3 down and 1 up for speed. But I've yet to hit three. At CNET/Downloads I can get up to about 2.4 down. But my down speeds differ drastically with whatever I do.. of course naturally.. that's just the nature of the internet.
Servers, conjestion..
But I am happy. Really happy to say the least.
It's nice to be able to get 14 megs worth of updates in seconds.
Live, here I come! Soon.....

Comcast here....In the Seattle area, they recently upgraded their service at no charge. If you have it, just unplug your modem for 60 seconds and plug it back in. Your speed will go from 1 Mbps download to 3 Mbps. I think the upload is only at 256K and remains.
I have Comcast Pro...and have 4 Mbps download and 768K upload. It's an awesome connection, however, I pay $90 a month for it. I have it mainly because of Halo for XBConnect.

I have shaw highspeed cable. Its really fast, and they gave us a good deal too! Mainly since we get the employee special discount ;) . Also its fast too, and they monitor the downloads people make so they don't slow down the city lol.
Anyway speed hasn't been a problem for me with this ISP.

Eh, screw you. If I up my monthly to $120 or $130, then I get 3 Mbps down, and 768 up. Comcast keeps saying they're coming, but for now stuck w/ SBC. BTW, Paying $60 for 1.5 down 2 somethinging up.
