Since last week I've been having this incredibly annoying issue with my Internet what it is is when I'm online playing a game on my Xbox say for example FIFA 13 if someone as much as goes on google I get an insane lag spike for a good 3-5 seconds it doesn't matter what they go on every page change creates this effect. I have done my utmost to resolve it but to no avail for example I have switched micro filters changed my wires be it Ethernet or the one connected to my micro filter.
I have also tested my pc with the very same problem going onto games and getting people to load a page on there phone etc no lag at all.
Plusnet have said my line is fine which I accept but it cannot be any gear I have at this side as I've changed it all. Router,cat5, wired or wireless and I still receive the issue.
Only tonight when I decided to install a desktop gadget called network meter I looked at it and when I received this lag spike I noticed that the downstream graph shot right up to its max capacity then back down again, so if its not the line then it must be my network I.e the router?
Really at a loose end now as it has baffled me completely, I have changed the router too...
Ps ping and tracert showed no signs of problems either. Oh and it's not localised to one game it's any Xbox game. Ports forwarded also..

I've also seen similar stuff happen when wireless G devices have accessed a wireless N router and it temporarily glitches.

Hi there,
Whilst keeping in mind that there could be other causes for this I'm wondering what that might entail, i.e could it be something quite bandwidth intensive that's being run or does this just happen if a browser is opened with little or no activity taking place on your connection?

I live in student halls, and the lads downstairs have the exact same router and Internet from plus net and they do not have this problem I am getting.
Lastly I'd like to point out the last post, gaming plus browsing your email should not lag you out in the slightest maybe if your still on a 56k modem I'd accept that but there is no way that those two are sucking up my whole connection I've been doing it months without any issues.

I assume that the xbox is connected by wireless
Do you get the same effect when the other computers are wired and wireless
