Unable to play online games with xbox one wired connection

So my service started with now tv broadband moving from BT and since it switched yesterday I lose connection constantly when trying to play xbox one multilayer games.

I do test and my packet loss is very high but never had this problem with BT.

Any help would be great.

Hey there @Anonymous User 🙂

I suggest you either contact live chat or the broadband phone number. Since you are a combo customer , you will see the number. 

 

First,click here.

Click on "contact us" at the bottom.

You will then see options for live chat or to make a phone call.

Thanks tried this and just told to wait 10 days as I have only had it one day and this is the time it can take to adjust my line but I have never come across this before.

Well 2 days down and 8 to go but ain't holding my breath.

@Anonymous User Also, is it XBOX Live itself or is it certain/every game? Like, can you connect Rocket League, COD, BF1 servers?

Hi,

My xbox connects online and I do all test on xbox but when it comes to multiplayer test in the setting the packet loss data is very high.

No matter what game I play it fails plus I tried both wired connection and wireless.

It all worked fine before I switched and works fine when I have it use my mobile data via hotspot.

Followed many video turtials on trouble shorting and Microsoft even tried but said down to my provider.

I'm giving it few more days thenow I'm moving back to BT.
