I had problems on my Xbox 360 worlds lagging when I had more than 4 people. Will the Xbox One worlds have their own servers or still use my connection to host the worlds? It lagged more of course when I was streaming and hosting the world. twitch.tv/missdoitbig
It all depends on your connection, and the people that are connecting to you. Are you on Wifi or are you using a ethernet cable? What is your internet speed, upload and download? It could be that your connection is not good or your friends connecting to you have bad connection. Do you normally lag while playing multiplayer games when your not the host?

Well one thing is for sure... None of us has played the game yet, and probably wont be for a few days. Its really hard to tell, but my assumption as of now, is that it will not lag. (But like AK49 stated), it all depends on your Internet Speed, Connectivity as it pertains to other users on one world etc.
I hope it doesn't, I'm running 50 MBPS download speed and whenever I host a world my friends all complain of the map loading very slow and causing them to lag once in a while, it gets quite frustrating. I don't think it has so much to do with connection more so just console limitations of last gen, but I could be wrong.

Most people in the US don't have access to the 50mbps service but yeah the upload speeds on that are limited to 2-3mbps. Average cable service in the US is 6mbps and that only has about 1mbps upload. Often even half that. Upload speeds are where service providers switch to business service models because uploading is where most of the real traffic for servers comes in.
Your 50mbit DOWNLOAD doesnt to the job, your UPLOAD is important. Idk how fast your upload is, but on my 50mbit Connection i have 2mbit upload(When i had a 100mbit connection my Upload was 6mbit, upload is very expensive so you wont have the same upload as download if you dont have a connection that companies use). So with my 2mbit upload it will lag for people eventually if there are 4 or more people on my world, and like Geneo said, it could also be THEIR connection.
I'm running with like 7 MBPS upload, I think.

I've read a hint/rumor/speculation/guess on a game site that 'real' servers may come to the consoles (much) later... maybe.
