What does this mean? I've been playing COD 5 on my Wii lately and the last few nights I would start a match and then get kicked off with the notice that the "Server Connection Timed Out".

I just wanna know what that means? Does that mean my internet connection is shoddy? That there are too many people connected at one time?

Also sometimes the game plays great and then sometimes there is so much lag I don't even try to play. What causes lag?

If I upgrade to faster DSL will this decrease my chances of getting lag?
 
It means the server has not responded in the time expected. It could be because it is overloaded with requests from other users, or that its connectivity has failed, or that your connectivity (internet connection) has failed. Upgrading to a faster internet connection on your end is not going to cure it.

How fast is your current DSL?
 
Do a trace route and ping, and see what they are compare to others that play this game.

My guess is a DSL with 1500/384 should do well for games, unless someone in the network is downloading stuff.
