    My console seems to be throttling my downloads as if I have a game open


    So last night downloads were running smoothly, got my full 100 to 200mbps and it went just as quick as usual. And then today it started to throttle my downloads. Now I didn't think too much of the download going slow, as it does so naturally with a game open, and I was playing online so it would (I assume) do it even more so the game runs better, but then I checked it to find it at a good 5mbps. I ran all troubleshooting I could, clear Mac, changed dns to opendns, even connected my Xbox to my phone's hotspot which the Xbox speedtest said gives around 60mbps, but it still downloaded at 5. I use instant-on, so I assume this started from the skip ahead update last night (yesterday?) if there even was one. I uninstalled mw and slept the Xbox so I just hope it'll be done soon, as there shouldn't be much for it to do but to download it so that's that I suppose. Just hope its fixed.

    What is max download speed on Xbox?

    could also be that the throttling they had implemented last year due to covid and extremely high demand on all networks globally are still in effect in a lot of area's, i know the EU last year ordered all the ISP's in the EU to throttle certain things to keep the internet flowing normally for all.

    i have 500Mbps connection and only get 120 to 180Mbps download speed on console and pc via the xbox network, all other connections seem to be ok i.e steam, epic etc where i get full speed downloading.

    i know netflix throttled bandwidth too, not sure if they still are or not.
    Could be throttling due to covid, but then my ISP hasn't throttled as steam downloads full speed. Which begs another question, why does Microsoft throttle the download speeds when Steam has around 30 million more monthly users than Xbox does? If anything I'd have thought MS would have had the technology to keep up with demand more than Steam could.

    Whilst a direct comparison with Steam would seem right, don't forget about Microsoft's other non-gaming services...given the surge in demand on Microsoft products (not just Windows but things like Teams etc), it would make sense that they would limit bandwidth in some areas to cater for others...whilst gaming is important, having high speed downloads isn't as important as having the bandwidth for office virtual meetings etc.

    Could be wrong but that is what seems to make sense to me...then again, I didn't have a console before the pandemic so no clue what speeds were like then....and my line doesn't get near 100 anyway (think it's currently around 70 and doesn't get throttled)

    Download speed

    I'm not sure but I notice a similar issue. I'm not sure if the throttle some of these updates because of so many simulations downloads. I've even seen my provide reduce my download speed during peak times too. But it does seem like game update take a
    long time to download.

    Downloads constantly start/stop and take forever (Series X)

    Hey there! I ended up doing a full factory reset on my system and the issue seemed to continue for a day or two and then completely went away. I'm not sure if this was ultimately an issue with my Xbox or if my Internet provider was throttling the downloads
