Extremely Slow Download Speeds on PC Xbox App and only get half of my speed

Yes, any games or apps downloaded through the store are capped at the same speed showing in the speed test using Edge.

While I also get less than optimal speeds when I speed test through Edge, my Marketplace downloads are consistent with my internet speed (granted, I "only" have 100Mbit, and due to the distance from the DSLAM I "only" get 70-80Mbit download speed).

So are the actual marketplace downloads when you download a game or an app equally slow?

I always get a much greater download speed on my Xbox One than I do on my PS4 or my Switch. Only my PC gets better download speeds out of all of the formats that I use. Sorry to hear that you're having issues though, if you've only got slow speeds on your
Xbox and not on other devices then you may have some network connectivity issues.

I don’t know why Microsoft isn’t fixing this. It’s in their best interest to make downloads as fast as they can be. On Xbox, the same titles download for me at 600+ Mbps. On PC: 15 Mbps if I’m lucky. On the same connection. I assume that the CDN is the same for both, so I can only chalk this up to very poor Windows native TCP settings - unless Microsoft is trying to throttle these.

It's like Xbox users get priority bandwidth and pc users get the scraps that are left over.

This works perfectly! Thanks so much!
