Not necessarily, because most of the time lag is coming from the host's internet connection, and he/she is the one responsible for hosting the game. But it never hurts to increase your internet speed so like unless it's costing you go for it.
EDIT: If you are truly don't want any lag, get about a 1mbps+ upload and you should usually be the host in about every game, that should be plenty to host up to 12 players with little to no lag. If you don't wish to host, then try increasing your download, and don't go into foreign lobbies, over sea hosters are terrible with a lot of lag.

∙ 13y agoYea connecting xbox live does take a toll on the internet speed. Logically, any device connected to a router (whether dialup, dsl, or wireless) affects the bandwidth. Theoretically, a device such as the xbox can slow down bandwidth speed by 24% when in use and 16% when idle. Tips to keep your Internet running fast? Make sure your router is locked because if not anyone can utilize your bandwidth, regardless of method. Second, when not in use, make sure to detach the xbox from the router, idle connections are still connections
