I hope this is the right forum. If not, I apologize.
I upgraded yesterday from a DSL connection to a cable modem (Roadrunner.) The speed of my connection is 10 down, 1 up. It's much faster than my DSL connection was. I tried downloading a couple TV shows over XBL, and that went incredibly fast.
However, when I play Halo 2, the connection is terrible! Huge amounts of lag, and the whole game stops to "reconnect" multiple times during a 10 minute match. I know the servers "learn" about your connection somehow and remember it, so I played for about an hour yesterday, hoping it would get better. It didn't. My connection ranged from all the way green, to yellow, to red at different points during the matches.
I never had any problems with lag when I used DSL. I'm using the same router as before, but instead of using a wireless ethernet device on my 360, I have hard wired an ethernet cable from my Xbox 360 to the router. Theoretically, my connection should be better, not worse. Does anyone have any ideas? Is anyone from Bungie reading this?
Thanks for any info!
