so I have internet at home, can I use two modems for the same internet?

Can you be a little more specific? If you mean with the same line theoretically I would say yes with a coaxial splitter but I have personally never seen it done. If you mean two differnet lines with two modems that can be done for sure you just need the cable company to activate the second line.

I mean keep the modem I have in the bedroom, and use a different modem in the living room for the xbox. would it cost extra to activate a second line?

He is thinking about this too much. I say we stop watching tv in the bedroom and move the cable to the living room. I didn't have tv in my bedroom for years.

still need to figure out a way to run the line

You're better off getting a router (a device that splits your 1 modem line to multiple lines) and running a cable to the xbox or setting up something wireless.

Otherwise you will end up paying for two modems and two internet connections when you really only need 1.

Something like this would do the trick... $30 one time instead of $50/ month

If you already have a wireless modem then I would just pop one of these bad boys into your xbox and you are good to go....

I have a wireless router. That link says page not found.

Also, would I still be able to stream from the Xbox and bedroom computer at the same time? Without any issues? I believe I have 27download and 5 upload speed

I don't see why not, Alot of homes have similar speeds and I've seen several computers / devices on simultaneously. I used to have low 20s download speed and would run a PS3, iPad with Facetime, and PC or two on it.

If you do a Google search for "Microsoft - Wireless N Network Adapter for Xbox 360" that is what you can connect to an xbox

So I chatting with my best friend from HS right now and I was telling her about my weekend. I told her I sold a celing fan on Craigslist for some extra cash. She asked what I am going to buy with it. I said it is for my Nitrous install and hood insert. She said, "every girl's dream"
