First of all.. i would like to say hello to all the brotherhood here. I am new here and got this webside from fellow brother from xbox360 Singapore forum. Well its really great to see that Malaysia have their own xbox360 community . I am from Johore and notice most of the brotherhood is from KL. I have to say, its easier for me to join SIngapore gathering then Malaysian gathering.. (its just a stone throw to Singapore from my place) Anyways, now to the topic.

I just wanted to know how is the LIVE performance with streamyx? I know that we have a crappy telecomunication connection aspecialy its been monopolize by the government and we are lagging private company that offer broadband connection. So fellowship, personaly.. what do you think of the connection? Truthfully i do not have LIVE yet cause my 360 dont have the HDD... i am eager to buy it. SO tell me/us your experience/problem connecting LIVE via Streamyx.

welcome... glad to have you aboard..... i don't think there are any problems in using streamyx for xbox live...if there were ....none of us will be playing hehehehe...seriously performance is ok...although some games handle the latency better than others...

Seems ok.. We have players all the way from Sarawak. Oh, only ppl from Kuantan lags

I have to say .. everything is great here with streamyx. Only some areas here are facing some laggyness, but all this is due to maintainance.

Well streamyx is like the russian mail order bride,
Your pick your choice.. order it.. wait a long time for it.. and when it comes you might not get what you actually saw in the catalogue, and you cant fully utilize what you paid for.
So in a nutshell, issues are sure bound to happen, but it depends on area and luck.

no problem with streamyx , only got problem with TM operator

What about the mail order bride....? Is there a return policy?

Is everyone using the basic RM 99 a month or higher. Im using the enterprise package i got home office. So i hope the connection is good. But despite the connection package, its true what brother said.. it depends on location and luck. Beats me!!! my connection always below average when playing online game.

Playing PC online games and Xbox Live online games are totally different. Im currently using the RM88 package with 1mb.

hahaha

eismeal....yo yo ... same from johor man!!...hehehe get streamyx and join live..u will get a fantastic gaming experince!

Why didnt u try yourself....u can still log on Live without the harddisk though.

WAH.. using the SOHO package... anyway when you're playing with local people over streamyx pings are good around the 150ms range which means OK for most things.. (definetly not for SF2.. but we'll see when that happens)

Hey, since you are so closed to Singapore you can become the Xbox Live card reseller. ahahahahha

im the few 512 user... so far i tried PGR3 only.. OK i would say 90% of the time smooth.. probably 10% the connection a little choked.. but i guess driving game requires lesser bandwith.. than let say FPS or VS games..

In PGR3, you can set the bandwidth to optimised to racing.

Games like PGR 3 can withstand high ping times cause as it is a racing game it's a physics simulation. Car positions can be estimated, and with collisions off there's no real need to detect wheter or not a car has bumped into another.

FPS like Halo, GRAW, COD2 need more bandwidth but they also have some form of estiamation algorithm so that even when lag is high you can still sort of play a game.

Fighting games like DOA4, Street Figther requires the FASTEST speed you can get, there cannot be any estimation algorithms for a fighting game because everything is just twitch related. That's why in high lag situations a DOA4 game slows to a slideshow cause it's waiting for data to reach the other player.

but like most people mentioned.. don't worry. If you're playing with another Streamyx player your speed will be just fine. If you're playing with people from US.... PGR3 might still work.. FPS... if you get lag higher than 400ms that's it.. you're useless in the game. DOA4 if you joined a US game they'd kick you the minute the match starts!

Hehehehe thats easy to settle. YOu know.. there's a lot of reputable banks in MALAYSIA.. i let you name few hehehehe. I just called up my friends in Singapore, they are willing to help me. Hopefully i can help you guys and my self

Before you buy a lot of POINTS just buy one 1600 point card and then let the US account ppl see if they can cash in the points cause we still haven't figured out wheter it's region free or not.

Live account cards though seem to be region free so you can just get some of those

orang dah pakai unifi..
