Constant disconnecting from xbox live and network errors
Im constantly getting network errors (caterpiller and the like) as well as getting disconnected from xbox live. It sometimes wont happen for a few hours and but other times it happens constantly like every 5 minutes. I know its not my cables or console or stuff like that because when im in other locations my connection is stable.
The only difference is where Im at right now I have comcast internet and I remember reading something about comcast having connections problems with destiny. Comcast is less than helpful in this case, they suggest fixes that make it worse and never call back to see if anything changed even when they are the ones saying they will call to check the connection issue.
Is there a way to make comcast not constantly disconnect my destiny games? its gets really annoying having to spend 2 hours on a mission because my connection wont stay long enough to complete the mission.

Ok amigos. Lets see if i can explain this... we all know theres a server(s) right? But what most people dont know that its just a game save server that requires constant connection. Disconnects are not only from bandwidth issues BUT WRITING issues(saving). Every cause and effect is written and read on the server. Thats the simple overview. As for multiplayer its about the same but it gets difficult with the extreme use a lag switching. Some disconnects across platforms are most noticable around the daily reset period. Such as from 0345 to 0545 EST. As for what causes this, I am pretty sure yet again its the server reseting and updating things for the new day and it causrs issue for a lot of people. Even people with great connections. As for causes to disconnects can be narrowed down to a few things: Low to below marginal bandwidth Bad router settings Unreliable isp connection(cellphone) Public wifi(asking for trouble) 3rd party wifi Crappy ISPs... Now to start with the 3rd party wifi. Simply put, if you have ALL of your setting for open nat 3, thats great but later down the road for your traffic to get to where its going, its going through one or more servers/firewalls. Those servers/firewalls can restrict necessary or preferred ports to be open whoch can restrict banwidth even more... Unreliable isp connections... sigh* people that do this are tenatious and i respect that but going through even a 4G LTE hotspot from a phone is gonna be obviously more unreliable than even being at the edge of a wifis transponder range. Theres a lot more to go wrong with cellphone transmitions than wifi. People that try to play and dont know your bandwidth are obviously ignorant but ignorance is bliss sometimes. But not in this case. Dont know then go to speedtest.net and find out for free. I know theres situations and circumstances but i am not condeming people from trying either. This is pretty simple and maybe half to three quarters on what i have somwwhat figured out to be online gaming issues. I try to be as matter of fact as possible but somebpeople say that it sounds really smug and arrogant but i assure i just try to put decent to good it info out. Ps for dealing with lag switches, thats a whole other wall of text :D
