I'm a year one player prior to any dlc. I've had no problem with any network connections and have even upgraded in the last year. I have comcast high speed blast package, run a wired connection with my own arris surfboard modem and Netgear R7000 router averaging:
98 Mbps down
20 up
9 ms ping
0% packet loss
My NAT is open and all connections and ports are properly setup.
All this said... Two weeks ago I started to lag approximately one-two seconds in every game type. PvP is almost intolerable. I went from a 2.0-3.0 k/D down to a .8 k/D and when I run PvE it takes roughly one-two seconds to deal damage and the same for my character to recognize damage taken, leaving me frequently with a "close call".
I can fire an entire magazine of bad juju into an add and see it take no damage, then while I reload (and no one else is damaging it) I see the health bar magically deplete. This started around two weeks ago after I got error coded into orbit, then nothing has been the same.
I've tried clearing my cache on the Xbox one, updating my firmwares on all networking gear, and even tried going to my wireless connection which runs at 88Mbps down and 16 up. There is no conflict with, speed or latency worth any of my other devices or games. My connection to destiny servers had somehow become "unsynced". I need some help. While I can manage to overcome (mostly) the PvE aspect even though I feel very "squishy" I have a very hard time overcoming this in PvP so much that I hate playing it now. Please help me get synced back up!

A large amount of game hosting is done peer to peer in Destiny - meaning you aren't "unsynched" to a single server location that is causing any such issues. If you had no issues, and they started occurring lately - something changed in your network, somewhere (network here meaning a very broad description of everything between your console and the Internet at large). The first best step to take, is to power cycle all of your hardware - console, modem, router, anything else. Then, give the network troubleshooting guide a good read over: https://www.bungie.net/en/Support/Troubleshoot?oid=12915 If none of this seems to help, I'd give your ISP a call, to troubleshoot possible hardware issues (if you are using rented network hardware), cable line issues, or anything else that may be going on, on their end.
