Let's face it, you don't know anything at all... this has got so far out of relevance explaining the most basic things to you i don't even know why I'm bothering, but anyway:" @crunchUK: Oh, so playing with my sisters fiance who lived about 5 minutes walk away from my house should have held no controller lag? O wait, we did. Both green connection and it's sitll there. Huh. That's strange.. I did mention this before. I could be playing over Xbox Live in the same goddamn house and it'd still be there. "
This might shock you, but there isn't a wire going straight from your house to your sisters fiancé. It might also shock you to know that there isn't a wire going straight to anywhere other than the exchange. 5, 10, 15 minutes away... makes no difference. There will still be a latency of a few dozen milliseconds.
Put it this way, there is a latency in your TV of about 5 miliseconds between it recieving the instructions and the picture displaying. That is travelling... at about an inch. Honestly, the cluelessness displayed in your post is just despairing.
