Hey i just want to know what makes your xbox live work better? Is it the internet modem or something else? :shock:

Like if i bought a new modem would there be less lag and stuff like that when im playing online. :?

More often then not it's your internet service provider giving you a shotty dollar store connection lol. If you're looking to go faster you can look at some web enhancement tools for speed [google it] or you can just switch your ISP.

Is the modem important at all or is it just the ISP that i should change?

Also my connection is pretty fast but its just xbox live that is kinda slow.

Ok... real quick just to clarify an ISP is an internet service provider like att, charter, or whoever else provides internet. The three games you provided shouldn't be laggy at all. It's definitely your ISP, and easy way to check is to turn your computer off while you're using a wireless router.
