It does it for me occasionally. This might be because of other people. With broadband, if one person has lag, each person will have "rolling lag" that is shared between people. If this continues, get rid of any wireless connections. They are typically not as good as a physical connection, and they send lovely radio waves through your head. Beyond that, I would call your ISP, and if they are clueless or just dont care, take your business elsewhere.

Blasphemy. I only use wireless, and it's usually pretty stable.

... Hey, does anyone know why I lost connection to multiple games last night, by the way?

o.O

But seriously, for the majority of the time it's perfectly stable - With a few hiccups, every once in a while. Soon I'll be getting 802.11G, so it'll get even better. I'm on B now.

Meh. Well, mine sucks, that is all I am basing that assumption off of. I guess its my device, rather than the technology.

If you are using a Wireless B Gaming Adaptor then there is your problem. You should probably look into getting a Wireless G which is A LOT faster. Well actually, I would prefer a direct connection because then you are getting the best connection that you can get.

What my ISP gave me, so crap, basically. It doesn't really matter, its into my PC, the rest of my network is wireless free, so I have no problems with my Xbox.

Edit: Its a Westell 802.11g Wirless Adapter

Another Edit: Lets get some zombie games started tonight. I will be on at 8:30, maybe a little sooner.

Do you even know what you're talking about?

The average broadband internet connection speed is much slower than Wireless B. Speed is not an issue.

Ex: My Cable internet is ~5 megabits per second.
Wireless B is 11 megabits per second.

I see not speed problems there.

There are radio waves passing through you and everything else all the time. If you don't like it you can become one of those freaks who coat everything in their house, including their haeds, in tin foil. And don't use mobile phones either.

This I know. It was just a joke. Come on, tin foil? Please, a colander is a much better way to go...
