Slow download speeds on specific fast connection

Hi EdwardWarrington,

I would recommend you take a look at the Troubleshoot your Xbox One network connection support page to see if there
is something causing slow connection/download issues. Also take a look at the Troubleshoot slow game or
app downloads on Xbox One support page to see if there is anything else you could try.

Hope this helps

It does matter how fast your internet connection is.

.

Title updates for the xbox one are massive compared to what they are for the xbox 360.

.

Part of the installation time is the time it takes to download the updates. If you have a slow connection or if you are on a congested wifi channel your installation will take ages.

.

It is now quite common for game updates to be hundreds of megabytes in size. On a slow connection this will cause downloads to take hours. Average update for 360 is less than 6MB. On xbox one they often over 600MB. I think BF4 was over 900MB when I last
updated it.

.

That's why I asked for your download speed. If your download speed is slow then that will be the reason. If your download speed is fast then there will be some other problem.

Ethernet cable then tried wirelessly same result. Slow. When I download on the xbox one the speeds are fast. It too is connected via an Ethernet cable.

Also, the time it takes to download extremely large games is outrageous! One could have the fastest connection on the planet, and yet running through Live, where the download speed appears to be throttled down, takes FOREVER! For a company that appears to
be moving toward all-digital content, this seems counterproductive. Why?

For the most part, download speed and the time it takes a game to fully download is entirely dependant on the connection speed provided by your service provider. If the connection from your Internet provider is slow, then your games will download slow.

For users with fast connections, it doesn't take forever. On my connection, I can download a typical game in around 40 minutes. I downloaded Gears 4 in an hour.

What is your connection speed? Go to Speedtest.net and post your speed results here.

This support page Explains slow game or app downloads.

Is it at all possible for you to go to a friends place or somewhere you can connect console (wired) to a network with fast speed and do your downloads?
