Bandwidth please HELP!

[lance79]

Hey guys first let me tell you my setup. and my problem.

I have 2 Computers in my house one in my room (desktop) and one that stays in the living room (Laptop) I have a Belkin Router, and i have a westell modem, powered through My ISP Centurytel.

Now my problem
I play alot of xbox live and im only running at about 60 kb/s Download and 25 kb/s Upload. So when im on xbox live and my mom or dad get on the computer I can no longer play Xbox live because of the intense lag it causes. And it doesnt take much eather. Just surfing the web browsing myspace/facebook or any site causes lag. They dont watch videos and hardly ever download stuff but yet it still Lags intensly just by browsing the web.

Is there any way to control my bandwidth to set my Xbox as the highest priority, or to Even the spread to about 32 kb/s for the laptop and the xbox?

if your only getting 60kb down i recommend you upgrade your service because the xbox doesn't really rely on download as much as it does upload. but you want to have atleast 1mb upload for you xbox to run smoothly

really your isp determines your UL bandwidth i live in mary
sville oh time warner is the bout only provider here for cable data and phone i had a little chat with the tech that installed my dvr and modem

i upgraded my plan from the normal speed which is claimed from TW at 7-10 meg to the turbo wo who 15 meg honestly for the price difference i could do without it it isnt noticeable and not worth it the DL is just a kind of illusion to distract you from the real speed... Upload when i switched i was getting about .7meg or about 700KB UL after the "better" service im getting 768KB UL I would really like to just have a like a T1 connection or start my own ISP where you get what you pay for Ill call it THE GAMEN CONNECTION...
