It was very very slow to the typical speed of DSL, which is what ive got. i use a 2 wire connection, the computer im using right now is wireless on a router and my xbox 360 is on a wireless router, which seems to be extremly slow also (it takes me 5-10 hours to download a demo, which should take an hour tops), ive had this problem for a while now but it is starting to get really old, it takes minutes to get on a webpage and to start up my computer. Any help is appreciated.
