Well I bought 30MB BB from Virgin, and for people who play xbox please help me on this...

Ok so I get host in most of the matches I play online, but everytime when someone connects to the game, my game freezes for a while and my friends say that it is connection interrupted. This happens a lot and is very annoying. My internet is fine, full speeds for everything.

The game I am referring to is Call of Duty by the way.

PLZ HELP!!

Yep and yep I did that, by the way it is connected with an ethernet so it's not wireless.

relz it could be virgin traffic management that killing the connection for ya. i would give VM a ring and see if there is high utillasation in your area.

Relz,I play on line with a few people with a virgin connection on cod and they all have this trouble.Quote:
Virgin Media has admitted it's restricting P2P uploads during peak times in a trial that the company plans to extend nationwide if it proves successful.

Wouldn't that be a fine thing... I was told last May that my pc gaming problems and general poor quality of service was down to "HIGH UTILLIZATION" it's still not sorted....
If I try to play cod4 in the evenings it's a joke....
ROLL ON BT INFINITY.. Although that may prove to be no better. But extra competition for higher speeds has to be good. VM have had that all to themselves for too long.............
