I want to get Xbox Live but I have DSL. Can I still get it?

Does it cost more?

I don't think it'll run on DSL. Even if it does there will probably be lots of lag.

Sure it will, and depending on your DSL service it could be laggier or better.

It does not cost more, but you have to set up an ethernet.

I think if you buy Live it'll show you how to do that.

It's not as simple as with cable, though. With cable you can just hook the router right up to the xbox. If your dsl is an actual board you put inside your computer to replace your modem, then you're going to have to buy probably a router to get the ethernet system hooked up.

Edit: If you do have to buy a router, make sure it says, "Cable/DSL" on it.

Do you see what happens? If you take the time to type out your question without breaking too many grammatical rules, I'll actually respond in a constructive, helpful manner.
