    how to run 2 xbox 360's against Uk players with minimal lag

    hi im moving to hong kong in august and me and my husband both run xbox 360's together and play against friends in the uk. We really wasnt to continue doing this when we arrive in hong kong and i was wondering what our best options are.
    ive seen about the 100mb broadband offer and also the vip hellfire 10mb with 10mb upload and download. which of these would work best or what else would you recommend? thanks

    Games use absolutely minimal bandwidth, the connection really doesn't matter too much as long as it's not dialup. The speed of light is your biggest problem, and not much you can really do about that.

    I think someone else had asked this and one of the responses was to make sure your ISP sends its packets to the UK through the middle east / Europe. Lots of ISPs out there that will happily send your traffic to the UK through places like Tokyo, LA, New York ... resulting in a lot of lag.
