Your getting blue screens on the Xbox or the PC or is that just some thing that tells you your lagging in the xbox games?

Are you hosting games or just joining them?

http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ Do a speedtest there, pic a location near you and report the results.

When your playing the xbox are you downloading anythign on the PC like torrents and stuff?

Well thats more than fast enough for gaming.

When you play a game, is there a way to tell if your joining a game hosted near you or if its like in the UK?
