    Only getting half my download speed and bad ping through ethernet (xbox one)


    So recently i've only been getting half my download speed and 40+ms ping when doing the speed test on xbox which is really effecting my gameplay.

    When i do a speed test on my PC which is run through the same switch i'm getting my full download speed and 9ms ping, both PC and xbox are ran through ethernet on the same switch. Any ideas? (xbox one)

    :)

    Hi,

    Ping and download speeds aren't necessarily related. Ping is the time it takes for data to be sent and returned back to your console or PC measured in milliseconds.

    When you do a speed test on Xbox Live, the console checks the nearest Microsoft server. When you do a speed test on a PC you will be connected to the nearest server that can do the test. The server for the Xbox could be several hundred miles away from your
    location, while the speed test on your PC could be pinging a server only a few miles away.

    What I'm trying to say is, you shouldn't take a speed test result from the console as your actual ping, it will be way off. In any case a ping of 40-50ms is actually a great ping for online gaming.

    Most games are run from dedicated servers now. To get 0 ping, you would literally have to plugged directly into the gaming server.

    Xbox one detailed statistics saying I should get faster D/l speeds than I am.

    Hey,

    Thanks for the response. When I do the speedtest on my work tablet it's reading 54 Mb/s. That is over wifi since the tablet has no ethernet port, where as my Xbox One is hard wired so it 'should' get a faster connection(in theory). The ping on my tablet
    is also about 1/4 as much but I'm assuming that's due to the server not being in the same state as I am. This doesn't bother me as much as the highly reduced download times for my Xbox. While I normally have at least one other device connected to my home
    network while I play my Xbox, while downloading this game and update I made sure that the Xbox was the only device connected since it was getting such bad speeds as it was. This had no effect on the download speeds.

    Microsoft can you please fix the series X/S WiFi lag and ping issues

    No lag with Ethernet or high ping , I only get high ping on WiFi it’s bad on 2.4gh and only slightly better on 5gh. On PlayStation and other devices I have no issues whatsoever
