I just got a Xbox series s and when I'm downloading a game I get full speeds 100 Mbps but...

I’ve been noticing very slow download speeds on my Xbox Series S. I have a fibre network connection, and ran a speedtest showing around 950 MBps download and 950 MBps upload. When i download a game or app on Xbox, that number drops to around 50-100 MBps. It sometimes gets to 350-400, but it’s rare. Are the microsoft servers just slow?

Where did you perform the througput test? On your Xbox?

still dont download any faster than 20 Mbps, if i was on my Series X, usually downloads games over 100 Mbps at least, and I have a 200 Mbps with ethernet speed

Goodin82, in this day and age 8 mbps is not a good connection for gaming and I'm sure dropping to 6 mbps doesn't help none either. While I have played at those speeds years ago and did just fine, with everybody now receiving much higher speeds from their
providers, you are now competing with this.



I remember playing Quake and such online using dial up; everybody was on a pretty level playing field. Then cable was introduced and those of us on dial up were getting crushed. This I believe is the case for you perhaps.



I currently am playing at 50 mbps though I did trial the 100 mbps but did not notice anything too different for gaming just for downloads and such. At 50 mbps I can still download and upload things and my daughter can stream tv and movies without effecting
me. I would however notice it from time to time on 15 mbps when I had this type of speed.



My provider has 1, 7.5, 25, 50 and 100 mbps but recommends if gaming online to get at least the 25 mbps. Again with more and more people moving to higher speeds, this may affect you.

I used my router until last year, i usually got 60 mbps of download speeds, BUT when i installed a direct cable to the router, i got the full 150 mbps of my data plan, totally worth it. Also, no lag.

and what about downloading speed? always 100-300kb/s omg!! i have 6mb/s connection everything else downloading 6mb/s full speed and this..... 100-300kb lol
