is my internet fast enough to enjoy xbox live?

i know what u mean...i tried playing modern warfare 2 and i was jumping all over the place and when i watched the kill cam it was so funny cause he shot me and i was sprinting in place lolpre3ston

Hold on, I'll take the speedtest. I think mines slower and live out in the middle of no where too.

Xbox Live works fine for me.

Your ping is also 51 ms. Ping is key.

Just to make you all really sick: No other reason for posting it other then I like it :)

Yeah, that high ping is what's killing you.

Ping is how long it takes to send and receive information measured in miliseconds. 1000 miliseconds is equal to 1 second. The lower your ping the better.

I'm sure my explantion may not be the most techical answer but it should suffice.

I was just about to post the same exact thing about MW2, except I don't have major problems. But what I see on my screen is somewhat different that the kill cam is showing me really happened. When I run around a corner and shoot someone my the kill cam says I didn't even run around the corner sometimes, the guy ran around and popped me. I live in the sticks too with no hope of better internet. I have the same speed as you are reporting, about 1.5mb down, .3 up. It sucks.

I'm pinging right at 52ms also. I always thought that was okay, but is it high enough to cause problems like I just reported?

Thanks. I've never knows what ping was until now. :P

in most cases yes, you're fine even with a slower connection. just as long as you don't host, you're fine.

I have a lower-end connection and it lags like crazy on Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead. I always just join a game instead of host. Not too much problems.

im guessin the thing thats killin me is the ping...852 i know is too muchpre3ston

For your sanity, I advise upgrading your connection before going online. Two reasons:

1. Position lag: you'll jump and skip all over the place making it extremely confusing and eye straining

2. You'll lose all the time: bad ping means 9/10 times your bullets will basically "fly slower" than the enemies', so you'll die and die and die and die. Consider this: ping is expressed in milliseconds, meaning that a 800ms ping gives you nearly a whole second delay on your opponent.

I never get any lag.
