    Improve Download Speed


    I have purchased some movies through VUDU in HDX format. There have been some problems streaming them through my Xbox (non synced audio, some stuttering) so I started attempts to fix the problem. I thought it was my network, then my ISP but nothing resolved
    the problem. I upgraded my ISP to 30 mbps download speed. Tests show its working at that speed. I have checked everything yet when I test the speed at my Xbox (IE for Xbox at bandwithplace.com) the best I can download is around 4mbps. This is the borderline
    speed recommended by VUDU to stream HDX.

    I use Adaptec 500 powerline adapters to connect the Xbox to my network. I have also tested using my wireless since the router and Xbox are not in close proximity. I can stand there and get well over 20 mbps on my Ipad wirelessly but the Xbox provides a
    consistent 4 mbps whether connected wirelessly or via the powerline adapter.

    Any recommendations as to how to get Xbox Live to increase speed. Given that everything else is showing much faster speeds, I can only conclude that Xbox Live is the bottleneck.

    Thoughts?

    :)

    how to improve download speeds?

    As far as improving the time it takes to download a game that is dependent on your ISP. Go to
    Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test and see what your dl/up speeds are. As far as the downloading stopping when during another activity, that is something that cant be helped.

    how to improve download speeds?

    Also will it make a difference that I'm downloading to a USB (the official xbox kind) drive?

    Improve Download Speed

    I have tried that link, and it is showing as it is a registered domain name, but it is not linked to any websites. Try going to
    speedtest.net on your Xbox Console, and let me know your results. When and if the website you gave was working, it may have had a compatibility problem with the Xbox Consoles.

    This may be a dumb question but how can I test on speedtest.net when the xbox does not use flash on its ie (xbox) version?

    Thanks for your help.

    Weird, I did not know that Xbox did not support Flash :/

    But I just found out that you can not run a legitimate speed test from the Xbox's Internet Explorer app either. The Xbox's IE app does not have the capability to run as much data as required at a time for a successful test. The speeds shown in the app are
    much slower then your actual speeds.
