Online Lag is terrible

[celtics6]

I have my 360 plugged directly into my modem. It's just madden. I'm getting super high speeds.

Kind of annoying considering I just resigned up for live gold for this. Took time taking everything out of the loop. Got a new modem and cable from charter. It's the same with both.

My router is old and i get half the speed through the router but never had any issue in the past. I just switch the 360 directly into the modem. I have about as clean a connection as you can get.

there probably is nothing wrong with your connection, its either your opponents or the server. It's not so bad as to stop me from playing, sometimes the connection gets better as the game progresses.

I needed to upgrade my modem anyways. I was getting 16 max before out of my old modem. Now I'm getting 50 and it still sucks though. I did pay for live gold for just this basically. and its not playable to me. It's like quicksand. Why play a game that chops all over the place and ruins the entire experience?

id keep plugging away, I don't think there is a general lag problem. Hopefully the games start getting smoother for ya.

I hear you. This is just annoying to me. I was playing on dial up in the 90's with the same lag. Now I have a ridiculous connection and it's the same. This just should not be in todays day and age.

Oh it's you. Hopefully it will get better...... I've spent years trying to get the best connection possible where I shouldn't have to even hear that. Crappy routing of EA's servers. EA has a lot more resources at their disposal where they should be up to date.

You may want to look int the airport extreme. Its pricy but delivers great speeds.

I also have 50mbs and with my previous routers I was getting about 16. with the apple extreme im getting over 50.

Something to look into.
