I noticed it last night.

I was under the (probably naive) assumption, that the upload speed was around the 700kbps mark.

Basically, my thinking was that left 620kbps+ for Xbox Live, but it simply doesn't work that way.

Is it a basic principle of 1 Connection = I stream up and 1 stream down, and the router just manipulates that?

You do not have 700kBps, you have 700kbps, well 768. This is equal to a maximum of 768 / 8 = 96kBps.

I think this is all about the difference between bits and Bytes.
