Upstream Bandwidth Warning

Notice on the bottom of that screen how it says something like "This is a reflection of your connection over a period of time". That message is also quite inaccurate. My download speed is something a little higher than 30 mbps and my upload is over 20. I have no such issues with my connection or my bandwidth, yet I also have this warning on my connection page.

I'm from the U.S. however. But I don't know what server that page bases it's information from.

Point is, I wouldn't worry about it unless you see noticeable differences in gameplay. More lag than usual, being booted randomly out of host migrations, etc. Otherwise, pay no attention to that page and enjoy the game!

Im getting the same problems and when i go into a game the connection jumps around from 4 bars to 1 constantly HELP!

Hmm. How are the other statuses on the connection page for you? Are they both green and ok? The connection jumping could be a problem with either your connection, or the connection of the host. Since Xbox Live is peer to peer, the game heavily relies on the connection of the host console. If it selects a host with a less than optimal connection, everyone in the game will experience lag and connection fluctuations. Does it happen nearly every game for you, or is it more of a periodic thing?

If you're going from four to one, there's something wrong.

.

Every game means it's very likely to be your connection, and that's probably because someone's on your network while you're playing games.

.

You could also be capped, I suppose, but that's probably less likely.

I30, it means nothing. Noble's right, and basically, just ignore it. It means nothing at all.

.

If your connection is dropping out/noticeably worse, then there could be a problem, but that's unlikely since you're running the 460 straight to the router, which is better than through the PC.

i have the same deal its been getting worse as i go

I don't know if it's my modem or not..   It's like this no mater what way i'm online..    

I think the Warning message is just a poor indicator and we're putting too much importance on it.  I have the same problem with it as Ilharious.  If there's something I need to do to speed up my upstream bandwith, they should tell me.  But at least they could not freak everyone out with a warning that makes it look like your trying to hook up with two cans and a piece of string.

I have the warning message on the Upstream Bandwith and i have no problems playing online.

my upload speed is much worse 200 kbp/s.  I haven't had a real connection since I played halo2.  lots of BS happens with this connection.  melee with bomb usually doesn't work, sword kills don't work, takes three or four shots with sniper to kill, but the most ridiculous thing is grifball players can kill me from a mile away.  i've played like 8000 halo 3 games like this.  it blows!
