Broadband and Xbox Live

Kimberley

I have BT Broadband. My sons have bought an Ethernet lead to use on their X Box to play live with their mates and access Facebook etc. The lead obviously connets to my Wireless router.

Would I be charged for this or does it work the same as the TV license where you get charged the same amount no matter how many people have laptops in the home? I have seen my DD payments go up and thats why I ask.

well you need to pay for access to xbox live
then it will use bandwidth if you are on a limited broadband package?

i pay £12.99 a month for broadband and my sons have their xboxes hooked up to my router, and laptops(wireless) and i have not been charged anything extra, it does cost about £30 a year for xbox live..
