MacBox doesn't work (latency)

Great news aleksander!

When you test your console for basic IP connectivity (Round-Trip Time), it doesn't make a server selection based on the shortest RTT, as you would see if you use one of the more popular services (eg. speedtest), but against a server located in Seattle, WA.

I'm not sure which service you use from your computer, to measure your bandwidth, but if you use speedtest, change the test server, to measure your RTT, against a test server located in Seattle, WA.

Not sure why people freak on running cable , fish it up through the wall (attic space) or down through the floor (crawl space or basement) wired beats wireless EVERY time in Every situation.....I've run it all over the place in my house (its cheap if you
get it from the right place) with two people (one to push , one to pull ) it's easy peasey.....

Mine is at a 103ms and I'm wired and only 20ft away from router, and in Titan fall I'm always one bar short and stats 17mbs and 2.75mbs upload

UPDATE:

Ethernet adapters through power circuit worked. Still 200ms on the Xbox but on Titanfall I got instant connection to server with 50ms.

Hey Taidara. Im gonna try out network through my power circuit tomorrow. Gonna test two adapters. I live in Norway, Buskerud, Kongsberg.

It's only on Titanfall but again, Titanfall is the only game I got. I have just never experienced this problem with latency before, but (forums.xbox.com/.../1626105.aspx)
I can see that others got the same problem as me for sure. I'm down to maybe 15 hours of struggling with this (6 times with customer support) within a couple of days, but I got a few trick I'm going to try out when I have time.

I only use the xbox one headset that was included.

If anyone knows any online demo games I could try out and test my connection on, it would be highly appreciated.

Also, nice tags Taidara!

RedskullR, no but the TV room is the opposite part of the house than my optic fiber "entrance". Cable is not gonna work for rest of the people I share the house with. I think its the structure of the house and the rooms. It's a bumpy road from the home central
(fiber connection) wirelessly too the TV room. But WHY is everything else but the Xbone working.

Note: I did get to play some games earlier today. Got connected to servers with 50 ping. Had no lag ingame. Could also skype with video and broadcast on Twitch.

Turned off, trying now and it doesn't work again. "Data Center: Searching..." for 15 minutes. This is bshit.

i'm struggling with a high ping, mine is 160ms on a wired connection, everything on my network is at 32ms apart from my one.

i'm in the UK and the general consensus is the network statistics check pings a server in the US hence the high ping. i've been arguing with microsoft support for the last 24 hours but they don't understand ping and the affect distance has on it. mongs
