Bad connection?

    My friend has the Eircom modem that everyone has difficulty with, he couldn't get live working at all so I turned off the firewall as per the instructions.
    It now works but the connection is very poor. He starts to lag after an hour of playing and has to powercycle his modem, he cannot host matches, gets an error message when he tries to in GOW and when searching for matches all of the games show up as red in the list of games or else no games show up at all.
    Using wired connection, any ideas?

    You can keep your Firewall on in low security settings and Live will still work.
    All you need to do is have your NAT gates open.

    I have a 2mb/s connection with Eircom. Thats 2mb/s down and 256kbp/s up which is not good for hosting games.

    I can play GOW and PGR3 online with no lag at all. But I can't play RS:V at all, the lag is too much.:mad:

    My eircom 1mb is driving me crazy at the moment.Was cutting off everytime the phone rang so they sent me new filters and then it wouldnt work at all !! I work for a data support department and i nearly cried after speaking to there support NOT A CLUE what i was talking about.So now its finally fixed itself but the lag is unbelievable rb.v is unplayable and my normal internet is crawlin even though the speed test i do say i have a decent connection.Still waiting for them to call to test the line.Heart breaking.
