: Very inconsistent ping/download speed

The error codes would be very useful, even if they seem bogus.

So would a ping test result - please run a speed test at speedtest.net and advise the download speed, upload speed, and ping time.

I've always wondered this. Is having a Ping of 14 a Download of 15.12 and an Upload of 6.34 considere bad, average, or good?

That's very good. The lower your ping, the better. Ping is more important for gaming than your download/upload speed. You don't download/upload large files when gaming online so download/upload speeds are rarely an issue for most people. High ping (or network
latency) will cause lagg in matches.

It could be possible somebody is (DDOSING You (Hacking you) try changing internet providers.

It is VERY VERY possible that you have very low download speed I think you have to be above 7 download speed for very little lag because my download speed is 15.80 mbps.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is my download speed

Download Speed : 15.80 MBPS

Ping : 17MS

Upload Speed 0.50 MBPS

I don't know why your lagging this is the solution that I think try using wired. Hope this helps.

Download and Upload speed do less than you think. You barley require a decent up/down to play. The biggest components are PING and Packet Loss. Packet Loss causes rubberbanding in games and PING is the latency of your connection to theirs. High PING means
a High Packet Loss (or Jitter leads to Packet Loss too) and what is known as Lag. I have a 20Mb/s download and as long as you and me have the same PING, your 1.6Mb/s download is no different for gaming.

Download and upload speeds are the most important. If you think you are going to have an enjoable esperience online with 1.6 download and .40 upload (my guess is he is around 0.40 upload) then you are very very wrong. lol Yes ping is
fairly imporant but nowhere near as important as the download and upload speed. 1.6 download is not good AT ALL.

The Xbox has always been very iffy when it comes to Download and Upload speeds... I pay for gigabit internet and the Xbox never gets anywhere NEAR those speeds hardwired... I get MAYBE 300Mbps max during downloads and when I test my speed the upload is maybe
half what it should be.

I don't know if maybe I need to upgrade my cables or what, but yeah... speeds are very inconsistent.
