Hi AV Folks
I'm charged with assessing the damage from my sisters two lads on her broadband allowance, at the same time as finding out if there are any XBox Live or BT security issues us adults should be aware of.
The lads - 12 and 14 - are using up between 4 and 5Gigs a day; this includes all evening as well. A hard day at the controller can mean 12 to 16 hours each for them when they're not at school. They are also using the chat functions, which I presume is some kind of VOIP.
Serious question #1:
Is it possible for other gamers to keep using my sisters connection after her lads have given up for the night?
Serious question #2:
Is there any security measures that should be taken on the XBox or on the BT broadband router: By this I mean security measures that young lads possibly would not notice or perhaps not pay any attention to whilst they were setting it up? My sister is a one-button-wonder type, technology being a foreign language.
I've hunted for consistent data on gaming/chat usage as well, but not come up with very much really.
Much appreciated.
