Subject: Connection and Lag help.

I keep on lagging out of games. Not only can be be jumpy at times, even when its not my shots dont feel like they are connecting (when they clearly ARE on target) and sometimes it just goes black screen, I may go back in the game, I may end up in the post game lobby. The annoying thing is is that I play arena (I know most of you probably dont like it but its my choice) and my division and wins suffer bad because of it. Also, I just want to play the damn game. Is there anything I can do to help it? Apart from change my service provider which is not an option.

Any genuine help would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

He's asking for ways to fix his connection. He knows that it's his connection that's the problem.

Any other painstakingly obvious things that I can point out for you?

OT: You could try this. I tried the trial and it helped massively, but I think there are similar programs you can get for free.

He who cannot command himself should obey. And many can command themselves, but much is still lacking before they can obey themselves.

It's just Reach. Nothing you can do. This game has a terrible way of "connecting" players. Ever notice how popping someone's shields then shooting them in the head has a delay? Yeah, it's the game.

Yeah big time. The shields fly down but the head never pops. But its more than that. I cant seem to finish a game :/

Connect your Xbox to your router with an Ethernet cable. Enable UPnP on your router.

Apologies for being dumb but whats UPnP? I'll give it a go though. Thanks :)

I know that, but if it was up to me I would, but Im a student and only one of 4. We're tied into a contract and its not just my decision either. Internet = fail

I don't mean to brag I don't mean to boast but I got hummus for these MINI TOASTS!

Well maybe shut it down for 1 day go on play 1 game and if it lags then I don't know what to do.
