my xbox 360 slim keeps droping me from live in games

headset will notcause you to disconnect to xbox live. I have been droping from live and party chat alot so have my friends so that tells me its xbox live servers

I've got the same problem happening to me. Haven't tried clearing the system cache yet, and I know my internet connection is not the greatest. But 95% of the times I get dropped from xbox live my computer is still surfing the net just fine.

This has been happening to me and a lot of my friends as well. It started 3 days ago and all of xbox loads very slow and a lot of the time we will get "some xbox live is not available at this time" (or something like that I forget the exact wording now).
Randomly get disconnected from live, or it says connected but also says we need to connect..... Everything from the start up is very slow, loading into the home page and so on. Have tried everything on my end with no luck. As it is not just me having the issue
I have to assume it is not a connection issue. None of us having the problem even live in the same state, let alone town.

I hope someone can shed some light on this problem. It is not constant, but it does get annoying when we get booted randomly for days.

You haven't stated if you are using cable or wifi, you could try the opposite e.g wif to cable... cable to wifi but saying that it could also be your service provider or local area are going through a 'glitchy patch'.

Are you using wireless? If so temporarily could you try plugging the cable in directly just to see if its a wireless/router issue.
