Sorry for posting this here, not the xbox live forum, but its less related to gaming.

I'm running XBOX live via a linksys wireless router. Over the last month I have noticed that the voice comms has become a bit scatchey in titles that never had this problem. This is made worse by Toca RD2, where voice comms when I'm hosting,is delayed by nearly 2 seconds.

When I run the diagnostic screen in XBOX LIVE (Main menu, Network settings, connect, then press X/Y), not only does it take a fair bit of time to resolve the DNS, but then I look at the figures at the bottom of the screen it shows the following :-

L 184ms P 19/25 (sometimes as low as 15/25)

So this looks a bit of a problem especially the packet loss.

Any ideas of what I can do ? The problem is that I have not subscribed to the NTL XBOX surcharge (I pay ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£50.00 to NTL at the moment, so I don't see why I should do this !) so they won't give me TS

I don't have my PC on when I'm using XBOX live so that isn't taking away any bandwidth

Help !!!
