This has happened since the release of the game. Everytime i am playing mulitplayer, my bar turns red and it is unplayable. Also, while waiting in the lobby, everybody tells me my mic keeps breaking up. Whenever i play in a different game it seems to be fine. Any Help?
thanks |

This is exactly what is happening to me.
I have Halo 3, and COD4 beta currently. I play Halo 3, my connection is at 1 red bar in game. I leave, I enter COD4 beta and I get a 3-4 green bar connection, no lag at all, plays fine.
My NAT is set to open, I can join matchmaking games, I can participate in them, but the lag is so bad that I cant do anything in game. |

I have SBC/ATT and a speedstream 4100. The 5100 should work just fine unless there is something really different between the models.
run a speed test on there site and see if your getting what you are paying for. I upgraded my package last year and they upped my upload, but not my download speed. I had to spend a hour or so checking everything in my setup. (ran new phone line, cut it down to one phone,etc,etc...) in the end I proved they were at fault and in just a few seconds the guy bumped my speed up to what it should be.
Download = 5.062 Mbps
Upload = 661.59 kbps
I just ran that and i have a few other programs running on the net right now, so it is well within spec.
SBC's test site. http://helpme.att.net/dsl/speedtest/

I have a Linksys WRT54G or whatever it is. Compatible with XBL, since last night though I've now been able to connect to a game with less lag. mainly be fluxuating between full green to middle yellow then to red again. But I've been happy to play a few rounds. its still not consistent though, it does not always allow me to play somewhat normal.
Its odd that at some times I can connect. It seems to deal with the traffic on the Halo servers. When it comes closer to evening its harder to play then when playing at 2 in the afternoon. |

Working just fine for me must be your internet connection.

Is it working better now?
The first time I played online with H3 I got disconnected during the game (and was unable to connect at all at other times while trying to play). Today I tried again and everything was working pretty great it seemed. |

it seems like it was working better, must have been that the servers were really full, and by the way its not the internet it runs everything else online flawless. |
