Someone I know in the states claims he played someone in Nigeria on xbox live and the connection was robust at that.
I'm highly doubtful because as far as i know, microsoft havent set up shop here, and if there's been some sort of makeshift arrangement how come it hasnt generated enough buzz amongst the gaming community.
so, anyone?,

what you ought to be asking is, is there broadband in nigeria? because thats all you need as xbox live is a global service.

@c-jay
yup, but i can't go live because i don't have broadband. you need at least 2megabits/sec to play online. all ive done is to hook it up via my mates 360 and we play gears of war co-op via 2 screens. very sweet. oh, and i stream media to my tv via media center and zune. sadly no xbox live.

In South Africa, they are playing on live with MTN's 3g service. I have not tried it yet with Glo, but once i pick up my 360 i will. They say the real problem is upload speed and latency not download speed.

yah thas why i recommend 2mbits a sec because of latency. you can get by with 600kbs but you will suffer response time lags. its not download/upload stream, its the link speed that needs to be high. so if you can, get 2mbps, at least 1mbps, fine and dandy. mtn 3g is approaching 2mbps. of course all these are subject to actual verification because some peolple claim to get by with link speeds of 300kbps! me, i don't think so.

Was able to go live and play online with the 360 using Glo. Only played Aegis Wing and there was no lag. I could hear them, they could hear me. Will have Gears of War sometime this week and will let y'all know how it goes.
My gamertag is "jdossy" for any one on live in naija or otherwise

are you a live gold member? how do you play multi?

Yup, I have a one month gold membership. If i am not mistaken, everytime you go online with a 360 for the first time you get one month free. I had another gamertag, but decided to make a new one for the free membership.

@ Mr BlacKiD
PLs could u tell me hw u got your xboxlive to run on glo. I assume you are talking about the Glo 3g service and u used your phone/pda as a modem.
Is that how you got it to work ? Also did the game play run smoothly. did you notice any latency ? Lastly, how were you charged by glo. Was is per minute or per bytes/kilobytes used ? I have an xbox and the only time i got toplay on xbow live was when i connected via my paltops internet connection that was running on starcomms Evdo service. It was crappy to say the least. Iplayed Halo 2 and the experience was terrible. I got killed more times than i could respawn. Lol. Please i/we gamers need this info because it'll help build the nigerian community on xboxlive and i'm sure i'm not the only one who thinks that will be a blast.

Repying Mystiky: Firsly WTF kind of name is that anyway? I want ya'll to know that this guy's ma boy and i've been kicking his sorry ass on virtually every game we've played. INCLUDING SOCCER GAMES.
And does anyone here play Halo multiplayer? Please you've just become my best friend if that be the case. Just holla mua. Mistiky can tell you his experience with me on that game.
And Misticky, I want you to hurry up and find out how this Xbox live thing works, so we can take the butt whooping to a whole new level.
Sorry ya'll if this was a bit too off topic.

eerrr i meant a 512 kbps connection speed. Sry but i don't know much if not nothing about the connection speed available in Nigeria but im sure one can get a broadband connec overthere. concerning the "the Glo 3g service " no idea what that is, but "3G" connec speed are limited to ~128k (not sure) so even if u find a way of using your phone as a moderm (gd luck with that lol) it still wont work. i did a quick search on broadband in nigeria and come up with this: High speed Internet up to 400Kbps ( by iwireless ) 2 telephone / fax lines Internet access shared by 1 to 5 computers 24/7 access with customer care support 2.5GB download allowance -------> ( lol ) xboxlive + youtube + p2p= $$$$$ --> i used 2.0GB in 4 days and i don't download that much  guess you guys just have 2 wait awhile 4 broadban 2 become more "pocket friendly" |
