I total agree here. I am a XBL user and noticed after the early December 2007 update that my xbox console did not appear to have the same connectivity with XBL as it did before. My roommate also noticed the same problems. Originally I thought mine was because of the wireless network we share, I'm totally on wireless while the router is physically connected to my roommate's 360. For close to 3 weeks we both complained about how bad the service was to the point where I even spent a day reconfguring the router because I thought it might have been a setting in there that I was playing with before. I can see how MS may not have expected a huge jump in the number of new users for XBL and how that may have been part of the cause, but let's face it when you are setting up a network, you always plan for additional connections and make provisions for growth don't you? Maybe I'm picky and want the world, but when I do things, I think about 6 months from now and make changes before hand, not after something has gone wrong.

Did this not also happen with certain models of Sony Viaos as well?
