New update tells you why download is going slow

When you tell it to install a game it downloads that game's day 1 update silently, and installs and updates at the same time, which is why it's so slow. You can start playing Forza when you have 15% downloaded! not certain about other titles.

Hi RobbieWinblad! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Usually, when a new update us released, there are many users downloading the same update at the same time, this could be the reason why you are having slow download speeds

Your download will go really slow on a day when a new game is released or when there is a huge Modern Warfare update. My update took forever to download.

hey, i was just wondering why my updates are going so slow that they are 50 kb a second when my download speed is 40?

Try to close your game and check your download speed again.

From what I've seen the installs (while unavoidably slow because they're huge) aren't quite as slow as they seem, it's because they download a big day one update before they even start installing, and then install and patch at the same time. It just doesn't
actually tell you that's what's going on. It's the downloading that is running super slow because everyone is doing it at the same time. Hopefully once things calm down the speed a will pick up, but Forza let me start playing at about 15% complete so it's
not too bad.
