What I'm trying to do is get a general consensus on peoples experience w/ lag.

When I first got the game and popped it in, like, my first 20 matches ALL had moderate to severe lag. I may have had one minor lag game. No zero lag games.

Then that night it seemed like all my games were minor to completely lag free. I was amazed.

Today has been kind of a mixed bag. So I'm wondering, how are other peoples experiences with lag? I want to find out, because I'm thinking maybe my ISP is shit.

My internet connection is a cable modem. Say I was downloading a file, I usually get speeds from 25k/second, to 50k/second, which I've been told is shit for a cable modem. Is this too weak a connection to have good, lag free, consistent Xbox live games? Should I get a new ISP?

Also, could the reason my games are so laggy be because I use a router?
Thanks in advance

Remember with a cable connection, you are sharing bandwidth with people that are on the same network as you. That is how cable can be faster than DSL at times. When everyone else is not using it, you get a killer download rate.
