Xbox live down again

I think they should give $5.00 back to each Live member when they are down for more than an hour, each time they go down!

They should've fixed it with the February update, which is rolling out now (or so they say).

For those who say it's our ISP's fault, just ignore those peps. My so called not-up-to-it ISP Spark NZ which is one of two top Telco companies in NZ, can load friends messages and achievements faster on my slim 250gig Xbox 360 console' Dashboard compared
to my Xbox 1 console Dashboard. Geek is correct, he actually has a gamertag which best describes him. Xbox 1 uses new Xbox Live Servers and technology (300,000+ servers worldwide in different countries). Xbox 360 has only 15,000 servers worldwide. I'm logged
on my 360 console did a test and the test came out with all green ticks. This site is up, and Xbox 360 Smart Glass and Xbox 1 Smart Glass are good to go. Since Xbox 1 has newer technology compared to 360, though it's suppose to be better than 360, it's still
has some more ironing and getting use to.

I don't know if it's been discussed yet as I haven't taken the time to read the entire thread, but the reason that we're having more issues connecting to XBL on the One over the 360 is because XBL on the One and XBL on the 360 are NOT the same. They are
2 completely different setups, that are in some ways integrated, but are otherwise not the same thing - XBL on the One is newer with newer software/hardware (just like the console itself) and is therefore prone to more problems. I know this because it was
briefly mentioned in an interview with XBL developers months and months ago (I don't recall where though, so good luck finding it). Like with the games, it's simply a matter of time before they get used to it and figure things out - ironing out the kinks as
they say. You have to remember that every time XBL goes down, they work very hard to fix it, and log EVERYTHING so if something similar happens again in the future, they'll be ready for it - they even have a clock on the wall inside the beating heart of XBL
(a massive room full of a bunch of technical engineers, analysts, etc.) that starts counting up when something goes wrong so they know exactly how long they've taken. This was something else that was also said in an interview. As a consumer, I realize that
it basically sucks not being able to connect to XBL whenever and wherever you want to, but you also have to remember that when it does go down that it's in some of the most capable hands it could possibly be in, the world over. So if and when it does happen
(which should become a rarer occurrence over time), don't panic. Just ask yourself what else you can do in the meantime - and from the looks of it, some of you already know what you're going to do.

When XBL is down, I polish cruise missiles for extra $
