    Huge bandwidth usage suddenly


    In the past month my xbox one has started using 1GB per hour, even if its just sitting in the home screen.

    I check my data usage with my ISP and it suddenly started uploading 50X what it used to.

    Anyone ever experienced this?

    :)

    Huge bandwidth usage

    I did some more testing and the bandwith usage goes up as soon as i sign in my xbox live account, if i stayed sign out, but the xbox on and pluged to my router there is no traffic, which is obviously normal. Huge bandwidth usage suddenly :)

    Next hour, i'll sign in my account and play Halo:Reach in the solo campaign and i'll check what will be my bandwith usage after.

    Huge bandwidth usage

    Does it still use 1GB per hour when in a non-multiplayer game like Skyrim?

    My console is connected to a gigabit switch and the light on the switch blinks fast whenever one of the video ads are displayed suggesting that they are being constantly streamed.

    Still don't know if they could use 1GB an hour as I have no way of testing how much it is using because my ISP usage counter only updates every 24 hours.

    But have you tried going to the dashboards privacy settings and switching content filtering to Family?

    Family doesn't seem to have as many video ads as standard mode so maybe that will use less bandwidth.

    TY, BeRReGoN - some folks are on cellular 3G modems and have an even worse problem with download caps. Makes sense.

    Huge bandwidth usage

    My internet feed is 12meg/s, my ISP is cablevision, the only one internet company in my area and there is a bandwith limit usage per month so i had to find out what was the problem. I'm not sure i had look in the Active Download, could be it, maybe a big
    download that would keep restartting or something, don't see what it could be since i didn't download any game of movie yet, maybe a couple of previews.
