Question by Joe C: Faster internet = better for larger networks?
I think this is a dumb question that I should know- but here goes. I have 4 computers, a Tivo, and Xbox 360, and a slingbox on my network. Sometimes, the Xbox suffers from lag, etc. If I increase the speed of my internet plan, would that help? (It is wireless, but the signal is fine, the router is 8 feet away.) I was also wondering if it could just be a matter of ping times, and maybe increasing the speed won't work? Anyone able to tell me?

Best answer:

Answer by Joe Mama
Since you have so many devices sharing a connection, that will slow down the xbox and cause lag. Increasing your download speeds can help that. Or turning all other devices off while using the xbox.
