Issue Connecting to Xbox Using Sky Broadband

Hi, I just started a thread regarding how to fix this issue: forums.xbox.com/.../1749555.aspx

It's a problem with Sky Shield picking up login.live.com as a phishing site.

Thanks seems like it should work

@collins question are you using Virgin or sky broadband?

If so that's your issue

The hub they use have issues

[quote user="xD4DDYx"]Isn't Sky the only provider that doesn't penalise your speed during peak times too though? Pretty sure they are, although that was common knowledge a while back and since then others may have followed, not BT though.[/quote]Not entirely.

Do any restrictions apply to the service?

To ensure we provide a sustainable quality broadband service to our customers, we continuously monitor and efficiently manage the Sky Network as a whole. To do this, during peak times (from 5pm to 12am each day), we may slow down the speed that all Sky Broadband
Connect customers can get on applications such as peer-to-peer networking and newsgroups, which we consider use up a lot of bandwidth and have a negative affect on other customers.

There are no restrictions in place for applications such as browsing, email, streaming, instant messaging and VOIP during peak times. We do not put restrictions on our Connect network outside of peak times. There are no restrictions whatsoever at any time
for those customers who have Sky Broadband Everyday Lite or Sky Broadband Unlimited.

I suppose it's debatable if Xbox Live comes under any of those, and it obviously does not apply to all Sky users.

Virgin have no limits on their XXL package apparently.

Hi,

Yes I have tried putting my xbox back to factory defaults, but it did nothing. I have a Sky Netgear DG834GT Router on Sky Broadband. I use a wired connection and have an Original 120GB Xbox 360. Anything else you need to know?
