    Download Throttling and Scheduling


    Would it be possible for us to get a basic download throttling feature implemented please?

    I find it quite strange considering most platforms on the PC, Steam, Epic, Origin, GOG etc, all have at least a download throttling feature and some with scheduling capability.
    This would be so helpful to a lot of people and especially those that work from home and have their XBOX set to automatically keep Games upto date. On a regular basis my work applications grind to a halt as my xbox has decided to download an update in the middle of the day. Why can we not schedule updates to be overnight or set the limit to be half my available bandwidth?
    Just seems like an easy quality of life feature to include.

    Any "all-digital-library hopefuls" slightly concerned with internet throttling or very long download times??

    you probably dont have to worry about throttling. fios is fiber optic and doesnt suffer the same issues as cable internet.

    -

    as for downloading, supposedly you can start playing when you download. you can also schedule your downloads to start as soon as they are available and eventually you will be able to pre download. considering you have to wait in line for the mega mid night
    releases and time to go to the places, you probably be in the same boat or better position then you are now.

    How to increase Xbox Download Speed (Updates, Game Downloads)

    How are you measuring the speedtest on your PC? Are you using Speedtest.net?

    If so, manually select a server from the Seattle/Redmond area. Then compare these measurements with the download speeds on your console.

    The only way to improve your download speed would be to physically move closer to the nearest Microsoft data center of your region, or investigate, if your provider is intentionally throttling downloads from high bandwidth services.

    Usually, they don't tell you. But try to do a speedtest on your computer WHILE you are downloading on your Xbox.

    To hide the fact they are throttling you, they will stop the throttle whenever they find you're measuring on known speedtest sites. If your download speed increases WHILE you are measuring, they are doing the throttling.

    What is max download speed on Xbox?

    could also be that the throttling they had implemented last year due to covid and extremely high demand on all networks globally are still in effect in a lot of area's, i know the EU last year ordered all the ISP's in the EU to throttle certain things to keep the internet flowing normally for all.

    i have 500Mbps connection and only get 120 to 180Mbps download speed on console and pc via the xbox network, all other connections seem to be ok i.e steam, epic etc where i get full speed downloading.

    i know netflix throttled bandwidth too, not sure if they still are or not.
    Could be throttling due to covid, but then my ISP hasn't throttled as steam downloads full speed. Which begs another question, why does Microsoft throttle the download speeds when Steam has around 30 million more monthly users than Xbox does? If anything I'd have thought MS would have had the technology to keep up with demand more than Steam could.
