Why can't I stay in a xbox 360 party or game?

Until today I have not had any internet problems. Today I am experiencing many problems. Examples: I cannot stay in a party for more than 2 minutes (it kicks me out and reconnects me about 10 seconds later), I get lag spikes in MW2 (I randomly get lag maybe once every 5 minutes. It usually lasts around 10 seconds. I cannot stay in a game of castle crashers (I cannot even finish a level with any of my friends. I get kicked out, and they stay in the game. Things i've tried: Restarting Modem, Reseting Modem, Reseting Computer, Re-testing xbox live connection, plugging, and unplugging ethernet cord, Test my internet connection (I have verizon wireless and my connection goes slightly over expectations). Please help this is just being a bother to me. All I want to do is be able to stay in a party with my friends, and play a game without being lagged/ disconnected out every 3-7 minutes.

Update:

I can still play and sign in so a hacker couldn't have done anything.

Update 2:

My NAT type somehow changed to Moderate but this morning I changed it back to open.

    Check you NAT type. When you play Modern Warfare 2, click multiplayer and before you join a game mode look to the left, it should tell you what your NAT is. If it is open then I don't know the problem. If it is Moderate or Strict then you should go to google and find out how to open up your NAT.

    If you don't have any internet problems then you probably pissed off a hacker.
