Crippled Xbox Live speeds?
releted to the same problem as ps3 downloads iam affarid http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,73529.0.html http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,71626.0.html
i did a wireshark capture awhile go why downloading cod4 map pack and streaming a video and both came back as 0x60 http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,72745.0.html
so the problem of the streaming videos on XBL is in my view due to being in same proity as the download server queue.
all thoe i find that some times the older streaming videos buffer up quicker than newly relesed ones but not much of a diffrence so i would say its down to the download server queue.
they lit more bandwidth to combat and made some changes to the traffic shapping on this queue and the problem the next day seemed to have bein fixed as i buffred a video as normal at peak times as i would after midnight.
but last night i had same problem with the new question video on the inside xbox menu but reading the forum i find its most likely due to all the office workers using the vpn/remote to access the work computer at home due to them not being made of stern stuff and staying at home due to a light sprinkle of snow
MAYBE PLUSNET NEED TO SPERATE THE STREAMING SIDE OF XBL AND PUT IT IN THE SAME QUEUE AS BBC IPLAYER

Hi there,
A lot of it is related to other things going on at the same time.
If you have a look at Dave's blog which talks about the increase in VPN and Gold traffic we've seen across our network as a result of the adverse weather conditions that this country simply cannot cope with. Basically, that means that as more and more traffic goes into the gold queue, it squeezes other forms of traffic, hence why your XBL downloads were slower than usual.
Once people actually start going back to work like they should, then traffic speeds on "download servers" should be improved

i understand the the fix PN put in place to sort this problem and was the hand of god that carpeted the country in snow resulting in the extra bandwidth that was added being eatin up by greedy office workers 
but this still dose not answer what i have bein asking the past few weeks.
why is XBL streaming videos treated with such low prioity. during peak times i cant even get the dam things to load.
i can understand that the game demos ect have to be kept in this queue due to the over 1gb size of some of these demos but come on streaming video more like hover dam video coz the stream just anit flowing baby.
please PN staff answer the prouduct idea and surrgestion theard i posted last night http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,73571.0.html.

i agree with you there that all worked fine around a month ago now. it would just be nice to be able to watch the videos thoe even when the network is in abit of a mess.
thanks jameseh for passing the surrgestion on to the big cheese in charge of these sorts of decssions

Hi there,
We lit another segment today to go some way to alleviating these issues, as well as tweaking the network slightly to try and improve things in peak times.
We are working on this issue, and would like to know if the situation has improved at all?
Thanks for the feedback, both given and anticipated.
