I have set up the correct Xbox live ports; 53, 80,88,1863,3074 in the game and application centre. I named the application "Xbox live" and assigned it to the Xbox console with a fixed IP address.
No matter what i do i can not get the ports to open, I have tried all sorts and although the ports are assigned to the Xbox to be open they just will not open. I have used the port forward checker and all i get once ive tested them is this;
IP address; **********************
Ping result; we were not able to ping your router!
Port result; your port is not open or not reachable!
How can I get the ports open and to stay open?

I have done everything in this guide; http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Thomson-Alcatel/TG585v8/Xbox_Live_360.htm
Still no joy, I skipped no steps, set up a static IP on the PC and the Xbox if that helps.

Especially if you're experiencing NAT issues.

Since I sorted this out I have had a solid 4 bar connection on any games I have played online and suffered minimal lag (the lag problems I have had have been the lag compensation which is a known fault with the like of cod etc) and the connection speed has not dropped once aswell as having sub 20 millisecond ping times. Hardly any packet loss either, I am really happy with the connection at the moment.
