Is this a decent connection for XBOX Live? I from time to time get quite a bit of lag.? - 878 - 05-13-2014 11:08 AM

I live in an apartment. The apartment runs off of Bresco Broadband and from time to time I get a horrible amount of lag. I am located in Columbus OH.

My current Speed Test Results are as follow:
Ping - 24 ms
Download - 4.85 Mbps
Upload - 1.65 Mbps

Is this good enough for XBOX LIVE?

Can someone please explain to me what factors are needed in order to have a good connection for XBOX LIVE so I receive no lag? I am considering on upgrading to Time Warner Cable's Turbo internet package that offers 20 Mbps of Download Speed and 2 Mbps of Upload speed.

Or I may get there Standard Package that has 15 Mbps of Download Speed and 2 Mbps of Upload Speed.

Thoughts?

A faster internet will always equal faster connections, and you need a download speed of 5Mbps to play at an "Ok"level on Xbox Live
(Your internet is too slow)
Upgrading to the stock version of what you mentioned would be a good idea
