I have Verizon DSL and my 360 is on a wired connection, but it still takes almost 50 minutes do download one demo. It took almost an hour to download skate. Is this normal???

It should be normal. I have a local dsl connection and it takes me around an hour or two to download most demos that are on the marketplace.

Yeah it's the same with me. It takes about 10 minutes to download an arcade game but an hour for demos. I've basically given up on trying to download demos.

Skate took a really long time for me to download for some reason. Its happened with some game demos, then some download really fast.

those are huge files...about 1 gb each....so yes, a 2mb dl speed would take that much time. btw don't expect super fast with dsl, just expect decent. i have dsl too and i deal with a lil wait. its better then crappy 500kbps connections tho....u could get a 10mb/s dl and upload connection, but why, so u don't have to wait an extra 30 min....yes 50 min is a good time on psn it actually takes longer for the skate demo because of the low bandwidth there.

I was reading some other posts and one guy mentioned about connecting his 360 to a laptop, is that possible?

Yeah it's pretty normal. It takes around 30-60 minutes for me to d/l demos.
