This is soo annoying whenever someone just starts up an internet browser or something, Xbox Live will get so laggy I lag out of games.

I've made about 3 threads about this here but everyone just said kick em off.

Am I the only one with family members that use the computer?!?!

If you are going to using xbox live to do gaming, you are going to need a better connection from the sounds of if it.

well that's just the way it is dude. Obviously someone on another computer using the same line is gonna eat up bandwidth. There isn't much you can do about it. Either play when no one is on the computer, tell them to get off or upgrade to faster internet that wont slow down as much when being used by more than 1 device.

I get some issues when someone else is using the Internet, but my Xbox is hooked up using a cable (not wireless), so it seems to get priority.

there are 6 computers in my house, including laptops too, and most of the time 3 of them are being used at the same time and i never get any lag. what i would recommend is getting a better connection dude, that's all there is to it.

First off, what kind of internet connection do you have? Are you using your own router, or one provided by the ISP? One thing you could consider, if you're unable to get a faster tier of internet speed, and/or want to try to solve the problem a little more elegantly, is to get a router that supports some form of QoS, and have it provide priority for traffic going in and out of the console(s). That may not solve *all* the problem, but it should go a fair way in mitigating the perceived lag that you get in the actual games.

if theyre on a forum, like gamespot, make sure they turn off signatures so they stop loading all those pictures that lag up your 360. in the end if you really want it to be fixed youll have to upgrade your internet. but games like battlefield which EA hosts the servers, you wont lag on no matter what, so u might want to buy BFBC
