Slow Xbox update speeds

Goldfin9er575 · May 29, 2020

My xbox download speeds have recently been incredibly slow. I have been getting update speeds of often under 1mbps when my internet is running at over a steady 80mbps. The xbox speed test even indicates this internet speed. Why is my update speed so slow?
It keeps me waiting hours for updates that should be done very quickly. I have tried all the common troubleshooting such as power cycling etc.

I have the same issue even though I have Ethernet connection.

Hi there,have you tried using a different router like for example a aftermarket one from netgear or a company of such reputable quality,as it sounds like its possibly the bridge between your two devices,rather than the xbox itself but also have you checked
the software is up to date on the console itself??or are you trying to download to an external device that may not be able to transfer/update the date at said speed?

Hope this helps you

As an ambassador i have experienced the same problem. After extensive search i came to the conclusion that its my internets problem. If you have a concrete wall between your console and xbox it affects the wifi. Also mirrors affect the wifi strength. My
suggestion is that you buy a wired cable. This tottaly saved me.

Hi there

There can be a few ways around this and few causes of this issue, One being everyone downloading at once. 2. with the increased flow of internet usage can slow things down. I think also there is a way to view what files are being downloaded but you can ask
on the insider reddit page for more info on how to view that stuff.

I have tried a wired internet connection, and it was the same story.. less than 1mbps speed. The wifi speed in my room seems fine, a simple speed test says it is above 80mbps
