well because you've got broadband that should work no matter what, but if you want to you can test it by plugging the cable that goes from your modem directly into your xbox 360 (the cable that normally went from your modem to computer), then you can sign up for xbox live silver (gets you one free month on gold) and if you have a game that you can play online, try it out if it doesent lag too much then you should be good to go. Once you've got all that tested out and you forsure want to go with playing your 360 on xbox live I would recommend buying a router, and another ethernet cable so you can have your 360 wherever you want. If you want to go with the expensive route you can buy a wireless router then the wireless adapter for the xbox 360, this will make it wires free but depending on how far you xbox is and if theres alot of walls inbetween it could slow down compared to the wire which will always be as fast as your modem/router, any question feel free to ask

If you wanted it to be wireless you would have to buy a adapter for your 360. You can find info on it here.

Are you on wireless interent or wired?

Yup yup.. If you want just get the wireless adapter and your xbox 360 should connect wirelessly to your router no probs..

I use a wired connection myself but know that the wireless adapter works just fine..
