Gold services down for 5 days now

My predictions

Xbox LIVE Diamond members will be the only ones who can access MP. They get everything that current gold members have now but they also can go on youtube!!

As a result of the Diamond service Gold members will become what is now known as Silver members but with a gold gamercard.

Silver members will only be allowed to play their xbox for 5 minutes a day until they choose to upgrade.



Diamond service yearly cost: 99.99$

Gold Member yearly cost: 59.99$



hahaha...

have had no issues with live at all, and if netflix is running slow as is youtube then this is your network or a local ISP issue, the content and purchasing issue listed on live is not affecting performance of live, and as of yesterday that error is no longer
listed. I have been online for 5 days in a row without any issues and i have been using youtube, netflix and multiplayer gaming and downloading games.

The issue with the Xbox Service alert is this - Buying items, redeeming codes, or downloading purchases - as stated on their site, https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

- Find out what your connection your Xbox is getting from your router

Go to Settings > Network Settings > Detailed Network Statistics

The Xbox will use as fast a connection as it's getting from the router, and often the router is the source of the issue.

You should see - Download / Upload / Packet Loss / MTU / Latency

Download needs to be 3.5 Mbps or higher

Upload needs to be 0.5 Mbps or higher

Packet Loss should be at 0%

MTU 1480 (usually)

Latency the lower the better and no more than 150ms

Try the steps below and run your test again. The Xbox will download as fast as your router will allow it too.

Hard reset the Xbox by holding down the power button on the front of the Xbox for 15 seconds. After the 15 seconds let go of the power button then restart the Xbox.

Try out your games.

Power cycle your network by unplugging the power to the modem & router for about 60 seconds. Then plug your router back in and try your game again.

Go to Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate MAC Address > Clear > let the Xbox Restart?

Try out your video again or check the speed test again.

If that doesn't work, I'm guessing you're using a wireless connection to your router.

On your Xbox go to Settings > Network > Network Settings > Forget Wireless Network

Go to Advanced settings > DNS Settings > Manual - Set the Primary DNS as 8.8.8.8 and the Secondary as 8.8.4.4

Go to Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate MAC Address > Clear > let the Xbox Restart

After the Xbox Restarts go back and reconnect to your Wireless Network and try your game again.

If that fails, consider resetting your router back to defaults.

yes this is ridiculous and these forums are a dead end

I'm a gold member and it's been down for me for several days now
