Random disconnects to xbox live while play COD.

Just to follow up on my earlier woes, something changed in late October that caused it to start disconnecting at random. I decided to check my firewall settings and saw that the port forwarding I had set up for my old xbox had not been applied to the new
xbox. I assigned a static IP address on my network to the new xbox's MAC address and applied the port forwarding rules to that IP address and everything has been fine since. I note again for those reading this post, that my 'new' xbox had been happily connecting
without these rules for months and months, but for some reason suddenly it was an issue. Hopefully my solution helps others.

Yep seriously considering a switch to PS4...hell can't be any worse. There is no rhyme or reason, my son was playing yesterday and his friends couldn't join him in a party to play together. Kept getting the "cod servers unavailable" or " xbox live disconnected"

Gotta love it....again what am I paying for?

I keep getting "servers unavailable" and they are posting stuff like this on the Farcry twitter page:
