Ok...Here's the deal.
I've had connection issues for about 2 years now......I use to have them two years ago with xbox live while playing halo 2, on the first xbox, and I finally gave up and sold it.....well with
the coming of Halo 3 I decided to give it another go, and buy the xbox 360. I've had it 2 weeks now, and I'm pulling my hair out over the loss of connection while playing games.
I have had comcast out here numerous times, only for them to make me look stupid as they test my signal and say " Your signal is better than mine at home...ha ha ha"....I'm sick of this crap.....I have had two different modems, (Now on a BRAND NEW Motorola Surfboard) I've had every cable replaced from the DROP LINE to my Xbox. I'm not running any splitters. I have a brand new ethernet cable from the modem to the Xbox, and I'm still
lagging during games and losing connection to host. When I host games, people quit or lose connection. They complain of lag, and tell me that the connection sucks. So what do I do....I call comcast, and they come out again, only to test my connection, and tell me that it's fine. So I tell them to hang with me for a while while I play a few games, and they'll see that I'm losing, connection, and they run some tests, and say that I'm not showing and connection loss for the past 24 hours.....BULLSHIT!!... They don't understand the frustration of falling out of a game thats being ranked, and then receiving negative feedback because they think I quit the game......I'm at my witts end, and I need to be steered in the right direction as to what the next step in my fight to have a stable connection to xbox live.
