Internet Connection Help

[rumpleKillskin]

Ok, up to this point I have been able to tolerate my connection. But for some reason now it has crossed the limit. When I join lobbies in Cod4, it shows me with no mic in the lobby. Then, after a few seconds it says balancing teams/finding host. After it does this for 6 seconds, I get booted.

But, this is not it! I do get in games, but I usually have 3 bar or 2 bar. It gets really annoying have lag like this all the time. People also say I break in and out when I am talking via microphone, and they can't understand me.

I tested my xbox connection, and everything went right! What is wrong with my connection? My parents say we have a high speed connection, and that "comcast is trying to fix the internet speed of our area."

Should I try changing IP addresses? Will that do anything?

FYI, my xbox is directly connected to my internet connection and I am not using WiFi.

Thanks.

Might want to call comcast about it.

hmm make sure if your are going through a router that ur NAT is off

[rumpleKillskin]

About that, they did say they were working on it. At least that is what my parents said. About the NAT idea from Gaige, what do you mean?

[Gaigemasta]

hmm if you have a router you, u type in http://192.168.0.1 and input ur user info and look around the settings until you find something related to NAT and there should be some sort of off switch

[rumpleKillskin]

hmm I tried but I can't remember the password

[.AWAKE.]

baseball bat to the router should fix it..

Do yourself a favor ditch Comcast! I have had so many problems w/ them it isn't even funny.
Do a speed test on your net http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest
Here lately I have been only getting around 500-900kbps... and others have complained about the same problems. I am canceling mine and switching to AT&T soon.

Face it, it is horrible...

I thought your parents said you had fast internet

[rumpleKillskin]

Ok, a little better from a different part of my house.



But still, I don't get the horrible connection over xbox when it is directly connected via LAN. I will try to do what Gaige mentioned but right now I don't know the password. Anyone have any other ideas?
