What's so stupid and irritating is that when you run the "connection test" on xbox, it completes successfully. There is a "service alert" listed at the end of the test, but it simply directs you to the xbox.com website and you have to get on a PC to read the "service alert".
Pretty silly. So the test says I can successfully connect, but then I can't connect? BRILLIANT!
It's a much more complicated problem than just which state you live in.I live in California and I have 2 Xbox 360's in my house. Once can connect to Xbox Live and the other cannot. They are only about 30 feet from each Other. There is something more than your location as a deciding factor in why you can't sign on.
Since I have a little extra time this morning, I broke out the windows calculator and figured out that for those of us on the $50/year Xbox Live plan, we're all due a rebate of
$50/365/24 = 0.57 cents/hour for all our pain and hardship and suffering and mental anguish throughout this extended Xbox Live outage.
With a four-hour wait or so, that's my two cents.
And don't bother reading the fine print on the Microsoft Service Agreement, of course it covers outages like this... just bored and trying to be funny!

Now do the math for us Monthly or 3 month subscribers Alizona. Just for giggles and something to do........ Better yet, Pick out the free arcade game you want as compensation...... Undertow (I think it was) wasn't worth the down time when this happened a few years back. Either way the FBI is responsible somehow!!!!! (just kidding kinda)
And to think that last night I told my friends that I actually thought there was a small but non-zero chance the update would hit us as early as today. LOL Uh... no. About as far off base as I could have been, can't even play the darn game online.
