How to reduce latency

18ms is fantastic for a console, especially xbox as live adds about 30ms as it is, you are not gonna get better than that due to distance to the servers and the route your isp takes, normally the latency on console sits around 30 to 50ms so thank yourself lucky.

if you are noticing any kind of lag then it is something else at play which could also be the route the network traffic is taking or the servers in general, you will not get much better than 18 and it is very very difficult to even notice lower than 18ms

Hi Dan, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Are you connected using an ethernet cable, Dan? That will improve your latency.

Also, try comparing the latency on a different device for example on a PC, Laptop, or mobile device connected to the same network, go to https://speedtest.net then test on your Xbox console:

Settings > General > Network Settings > Test Network Speed & Statistics.

The Latency is the issue here:

I mostly play halo infinate and the latency on that too reaches 150 ms.

The sole reason I have been trying to reduce the latency on xbox for a month is the unplayable level of latency on halo infinate.

Would there be anyway to reduce to latency to the Xbox live network ? I tried dns and different ports
