lag issues playing via live

I am having some lag issues now for the past few months with my xbox live connection. I live in Phx AZ and use cox communications top internet connection (cable) and connect with a friend using DSL in Missouri. I run a network (router is a linksys WRT 310N and modem is a linksys CM100) that I just purchased two months ago. I have one wireless laptop and a wired desktop as well as my xbox 360 on the network and both computers are on a majority of the time. I have also set my xbox as a static IP and listed that port on the router as a priority. Any other help or suggestions would be apprecaited. Oh the two games we play are too human and sacred 2 and most of our issues are with sacred 2. I have even opened the ports to have sacred 2 run better.

Re: lag issues playing via live

Lag could be several issues, Try turning off what you don't use? Come back here and Post you speed for us to see, it could be Cox is throttling your service, and it could all be on your friends side since he has DSL. there are many factors when it comes to lag. I have Road runner turbo and still experience lag from time to time and its moslty other players.

Re: lag issues playing via live

ok here is mine in comparison




As you can see, this is with road runner turbo which is $39.99 a month, your connection is functional b ut way to low for online gaming with out any problems.

I would suggest either upgrading or turn off every single thing that is using your connection whille playing and even then you are still going to get lag.

Re: lag issues playing via live

Ok, I almost forgot. Which part is the "too slow" part. The upload or download speed? I would think the download but I want to make sure I get all this right as I have a tech coming out in the morning and want to be ready

Thanks for all the help

Jim
