No service is perfect, but Live has been awesome since 2004, day one for me! Smooth connection, great chat, and reliable…….

First up. Shilling is illegal, so you really should stop.

Second, that down time you refer to was a DDoS that was aimed squarely at PSN and Xbox Live, funny thing is Xbox live was up and at full strength days before PSN. Something close to 4-5 days.

The only online network throttling speeds or sizes is PSN. Stop spreading misinformation you pathetic little shill.

I’m curious, what has the Up-Time% for Microsoft and Sony been for the last year? I’ve had my Xbox One from Day One and last Christmas was the only time I had a problem, getting on line. (and I play a lot because it fun!)

Just a day over the 2 year anniversary of the worse gaming console reveal in history (a lot of websites seem to have missed that somehow). It was at this that Microsoft announced the 300,000 server thing.

And yet they slowly opened the Xbone Live floodgates since launch. They delayed game trials (because there was no limitation on the size of downloadable games on Xbone now but they still had to put in their own limits anyway), massive free2play games like Warframe that clocked in a sizes over 15gbs weren’t allowed on the console yet (and a lot of them still haven’t come to the console), they pushed back game streaming by 5 months, no free games for people to download on Games for Gold for 7 months either (meaning less downloading and bandwidth use on the network too).
All these things slowly came to the console throughout 2014 and what happened when all these features were in place for the Xbone at a Xmas period for the first time? System went down. Thank god they didn’t have all these in place when the console launched. Xbox Live would have been down for the first 6 months straight lol.
So much for a ALWAYS ONLINE console too. Imagine the mess that would have been if THAT was part of everything I mentioned above too. You were are all so lucky they dropped that. ^_^
