Live Question!

I am using a very sucky local internet company and there are two 360s connected to the same router, can this affect how well Live works? I am disconnected half the time, and can not send messages or join parties with my friends. I also tried to download a demo and it took all day (no exaggeration) to get to 55% complete and then it just stopped loading altogether. I had to turn my xbox off finally. I have a gold trial, and I did want to buy a years subscription, but its such a hassle. Why? If it can be fixed then I might pay for more Live.

If you go to the dashboard and select the test connection option what does it say, once the test has run if it says you have a moderate or strict NAT type this may be the problem

If you have a lot running on the same internet connection, it might be bogging down your internet speeds. Downloading large files or watching YouTube videos can have the same effect.
