Last week I upgraded from an old RCA cable modem to a Motorola SB5120. Since I upgraded, I've been dropping matches on HALO 3 constantly. The SB5120 is much faster for computer downloads (and internet tests show show tremendous speed), but it's KILLING my xbox live connections. It can't stay connected for more than 2 matches in a row. It doesn't make much sense. The only thing I changed is the modem; I even disconnected the router and hooked directly to the modem, still dropping matches.
Neither Comcast or xbox live have been any help.
I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem; if so, did swapping modems fix the problem; if so, which modem did you switch to?
I saw that at least one other person had the same problem on here a couple months ago, but they didn't repost to say whether reverting back to an old modem continued to work.
