How do I increase my bandwidth speed

Hi tabulum turtles,

Just want to start out by saying that we have an alert in Australia that is very close to what you are describing, if you are in Australia be sure to keep an eye on the
status page to keep updated on the process. If you are not in Australia can you try a fresh start on the console and your router/modem by unplugging them for a full 5 minutes.

Let us know how it goes.

Would love to know how you fixed this issue.

I have 60mps speed with my comcast, but it is taking way too long to download games. I just downloaded a game that was 5 gb and it took 12 hours to complete. Same with my 360 as well. Any ideas?

Speed relates to how quickly the data within your bandwidth can be transferred. If you were to increase bandwidth to its outer limits, you could only use it as fast as the bandwidth allows. Where you’ll start to notice the differences and correlation between speed and bandwidth in your connection is when you start adding multiple connections.

For example, a 10Gb Internet connection will allow ten computers 1Gb each for the bandwidth, though how fast each computer can transfer data will depend on where in the network it is, the type of router, modem, cabling, and other network infrastructure qualities.

Your actual download speeds could reach over 1Gbps, though not likely for long, as cable providers monitor and adjust to only provide you enough bandwidth to support the devices actually connected. This throttling drops your average download speed to around 700Mbps on the primary computer and 500Mbps in each secondary.

In sum, bandwidth is the amount of speed available for use, and speed is the data transfer rate. Regardless of how much of either you have, you’ll have to pay the cable provider if you hit a data cap.

Also realize that when you go to certain bandwidth speed websites your ISP will temporarily increase your speed to make it appear your speeds are bigger than they actually are.... This HAS been PROVEN by www.dslreports.com
