Lag when playing Xbox and surfing online

[catwoman05]

Gaming/tech lingo is another language to me. All I want to know is how my son can use Xbox live and play games without lagging while I surf the internet on my laptop or watch Netflix through my blue-ray player. We currently have 1-3 Mb only and that's not enough. How much do I need?

Hello, catwoman05. Sorry to hear about your problem.

Unfortunately, there is no solution, with your current bandwidth, that would be able to stop slowing down either of your activities.

I would personally recommend about 15-25 Mb/s (about the lowest I've ever gone), however, it would definitely be worthwhile to see what your ISP has available. However, even at those speeds, while surfing the internet in general shouldn't be a problem, streaming anything is always going to take up a lot of bandwidth.

Best of luck!
