I've NTL 6mb broadband and living in Dublin 15.

I did the speed test and it came back at:

Total Averages:

Is this ok?

I use my broadband for xbox live and until recntly things have been fine,but no I'm having major issues with lag and I'm disconnecting all the time!!

All help appreciated.

You are not too far off so unless your modem goes off line i dont think your connection is the problem you are having on xbox live. What game is it your playing there?
If it is, by any chance, Konami PES 2008 then that is your problem.

Cheers for the reply mate.

No it's gears of war.

I know PES 2008 has terrible problems due to lag,but up until recently I'd none when hosting on Gears.

Now I constantly get the "press B" connection error and the rest of the lads don't seem to get it when others host.

Recently done any spyware-and-crap-like-that checks?

[shayfee]

No mate,should I?

[.:iE/Dixy]

Spyware?? are you using an x-box or pc?

Your Speed looks good and qos is good do you connect wired or wireless?
Your ping is a slight bit high and it could be packet loss

Xbox mate,I use the Xbox wireless adaptor.

The test was done from my PC though,using a netgear wireless adaptor too.

[.:iE/Dixy]

ok so that proves the pc connection is fine and the internet speed is fine.

I dont have an xbox so i cant much further other that the usual, has anything changed on the xbox recently, been moved to a new site, added any weird software, is your wireless link secure, have you moved the router around. Last thing is does it only happen on gears cause it could be the master server and not you at all, have you any other titles you can try online to check if they are ok

And test, if possible, the xbox game when everything is connected with cables in stead of the wireless set up. i am not u huge fan of wireless gaming and noticed lag on games. I have been playing al lthe Pro Evolutions on line and it really showed when my opponent had a wireless network at home.
Not saying it might solve your problem but it would surprise me if it will not be better when you use cables.
