Subject: Has anyone else been super laggy lately?

Ive played halo somewhat consistently for about 2 years now. Never have I experienced the constant unplayable FREEEZE lag I am having now.

Ive tried everything. Resetting my router, turning off the wireless, disconnecting everything else, switching to hardwire, tried multiple ethernet cords, router settings etc.

Online speed tests show that my speeds are right where they should be 15MB down/ 5MB up, and yet I cant get in 1 game of halo where I am not freeze lagging.

I have tried 5 different playlists, a total of ~25 games since I noticed the problem, and outside of a couple times I hosted, every game has been terrible.

Like I said, Ive been playing about 2 years now, so I know the daily game by game lag that can occur. THIS IS NOT THAT. I even went into a host check with a bunch of other people and everything seemed fine, the theater constantly says I have to be party leader, and yet when the game starts, I go red bar and cant move. I dont manipulate my network in any way and never have, so before anyone asks, youre wasting your time.

Speed tests don't mean anything at all, that's just your bandwidth. Honestly, you don't even need 500kb to play Halo, let alone 15MB.

Use pingtest, this is what matters for gaming.

I've been having the same problems lately. I play Halo rather consistently, but not for long periods of time ( maybe 2 hours a week ). Anyhow, for the past monh or so, Every Halo 3 game I have had has been absolutely laggy. I have a high speed connection and have not fiddled with any of my settings.
