Would upgrading my DSL help stop the lag?

Ok guys, my problem is that when ever anybody else in my household use the internet it would severely lag my XBL experience and then it would be unplayable. I right now have 128Kbps and if one person uses a computer and go on Youtube or something that requires a lot of loading it would lower my bar to yellow if I'm Halo 3 or COD4. If two or more computers is a streaming a video it would be complete red and I would lag throughout the whole game. So if I upgrade my DSL to 768Kbps would it be fast enough for me to play a pretty smooth game or would I have to upgrade higher then that...?

There are three people in my house that uses the internet all at once. It kinda feels wrong to tell my family to all get off the computer so I can only use it for XBL...klusps

buy a wii?

you should get this gaming router. It's made by dlink and I like it alot. Here's the link http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8548841&st=gaming+router&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1188561003287

Model: DGL-4500 It gives you preference with gaming so if someone is downloading or surfing the web you won't get lag. Give it a try. I like it alot.

7 megs is great. You will have a smooth onilne experience AND people can stream and download on the other computers at the same time.

Hard wire the ethernet connection though. It's more stable than wifi.

199 is a bit much for a router. you can get a great one for half th price Im sure.

anyways yes upgrade your ISP 128kbs is very low for gaming. I have 3.5Mbs up and I still experience lag issues when someone uses the computer(downloading, sstreaming etc)

7 Mb/s = 7000 Kb/s, 756 Kb/s = 0.756 Mb/s
