XBL players... A big ?

[Spin4u]

OK i have dsl and i gave my cpu to my sis and i get online at home with my notebook on wireless. I see that most of you who play xbl are on the cpu. I mean you complain about lag but wtf are you doing running programs such as aim and what not while playing 3s or any other live game...:looney:

The ? is. Do you play xbl while still having the cpu on? Thats what i notice that people are still online playing xbl and have other programs running.
Doesnt this effect the lag. I know it did to me while playing xbl.

SO... yea.

Makes a huge difference yeah. Even having something running as petty as AIM can throw people's connections off like woa. Especially if they don't have their routers calibrated.

[Q B]

calibrated routers? please explain? you man like priority bandwith to the xbox line?

[KrsJin]

Right. Some routers won't allow you to adjust it while others do. My friend's is so bad it has it at 85% of his bandwith is alloted to the first jack. Then if something is plugged into the second jack it only receives 15% of the bandwith lol... Sad thing is AIM triggers the first jack to be used, even though it hardly requires any bandwith to be used at all.

[Spin4u]

true. its going to lag no matter what but having your cpu off makes a considerable difference. i think all can agree.

One of the worst experiences during an XBL match are random lag spikes, since a laggy, yet steady connection is still somewhat playable. Sometimes I wonder whether most of those spikes are caused by CPUs/computers running ANY sort of software which utilizes the network connection. In fact, I believe operating systems periodically connect to the net for whatever weird reasons - like Windows does to look for updates - so keeping the PC connected will always create that extra bit of lag.
Just disable the connection from the PC to be 100% sure that nothing else is eating the bandwidth. I'd consider it rude if you try and play against me while having other shit eating up the connection :arazz:
