Updates are out of hand!

Man that sucks.... But u dont got 1$? i saw a promo on my silver account for 1month of live for 1$.

Personally, I don't think these supposed DDOS attacks has any merit.

That being said. XBL is simply a switchboard service which you pay upwards of 60 bucks a year for.

When you turn on your console it is programmed to connect ONLY to MS switchboard (server) and depending on what app or game you decide to run, XBL then redirects you to that particular game/apps server. Netflix, Hulu, EA, Ubi etc.

So if you're not having any trouble logging in or getting kicked off of a running app or game. It may seem as if it's the game or app servers. But restart the console and if it then fails to log you into XBL, it's MS server which is at fault.

Or at least that has been my observation and assessment of this strange happenings.

If you want to use cancer as your analogy, it's worth pointing out that there's a lot of preventative steps that can reduce the risk, routine exams and early treatment can prevent the spread, and there are usually many good predictors of cancer risk. So
no, DDoS is nothing like cancer if, as you say, nothing can be done to deal with the attack besides letting it run its course.

So please don't use that analogy again. It's completely inaccurate.

Normally if it is someone using a lag switch there is very little they can do unless it on a dedicated server where it is unaffected.

I can also add that EA and Dice take cheating and such seriously they have already had a few ban sweeps and patches and are addressing issues as they arise. Apparently we will be seeing the MAV patched soon to remove the ability to use it as a lift to get
to places players shouldn't be able too.
