Xbox question

[Juicebox]

Do you need an ethernet cable to use XBL? or can you use a phone cable?

[LiNuX]

do you have an xbox already? or just ahead? i don't own one myself but if i had to guess, you need ethernet for broadband speeds, phone line can't transfer that much info back and forth but I am only 90% certain, i dont own an xbox myself

I have one and I got like 5 months free xbl gold.

don't have a 360, but pretty sure you'd need a ethernet cord

The xbox pro and elite do come with ethernet cables.
But they're not that long, so....
Also, Microsoft sells wireless adapters for the 360.

How long? Sony also is retarded and only gave a 8 ft or so cord

I'm assuming they provide a 6-10 ft cord - every router I've bought in the past came with a 6-10 ft cord lol

and also, I just checked, I have a 50ft cord going from my room to my sister's computer lol...forgot about that cord

10 feet is about what i'm thinking.
Not gonna connect from room to room or something.
