I use sky broadband and i have xbox live, and i also live in the country. It seems fine to me when im in the middle of no where, so i expect it should be alright for you.
It could be:Your Internet stopped workingXbox Live is having issues (on Xbox.com support page it will say if Xbox Live is up and running)You are not properly hooked up to the Internet
It means that its a lose connection.
no
Satellite internet access can be cheaper than broadband depending on the plan or bundle. Satellite internet is faster than broadband but it has a tendency to lose connection during storms or in climate weather.
no you will not
you will not lose anything, although in some games you wouldn't start off with the armour you have or weapons etc.
When your xbox live account expires you will still have your map pack.
no i don't think so
no you keep all your friends unless you get a new xbox
Yes , you won't lose your account plus you keep your gamerscore and xbox live works on both 360 and one
Yes there is a way to connect to xbox live with dial up. I was recently looking for how to do that for a friend of mine and I stumbled across this tutorial. With a little creative thinking, you can get online, even with dial up, as long as you have a PC. The first thing you have to do is LAN your 360 and your PC together. The easiest way is to hook your 360 to your Ethernet port on your PC. Next, fire up that dial up connection of yours. Then setup a home network using the wizard in the Network Connections screen, choosing your dialup connection as the internet connection and the Ethernet port as how you connect to other connections. This will make the dialup connection shared. The 360 will think it has a broadband connection to the 'net, when in fact it just has a broadband connection to your PC. Now, you're not going to be able to play most games online, as the lag would be so monstrous that you wouldn't be able to do anything, but this works for downloading content from the Marketplace, getting patches, and buying Live Arcade games. Since the Silver membership to Live is free with the purchase of the 360, you've really got nothing to lose. You can play Gears of War, Halo 3, NFL, NBA ,FIFA, and Call of Duty
No, they would have to delete memory from your Xbox 360 to do erase memory.
