    Taking forever to download games (Xbox Beta Gamepass) Fluctuating speeds from 40mb/s to 0


    As the title suggests I just purchased my first month of the Ultimate Game Pass and I've been attempting to download Metro Exodus for about 6 hours now and it's barely halfway done. Speeds are all over the place and most of the time sits at 0mbps with no
    progress. I've tried pausing/resuming the download and restarting the client completely but the same results.

    I have Bell Gigabit Fibe 1.5 internet (1.5gbps download/940mbps upload) and download games pretty regularly, so usually around a 50 GB game on any other client (Steam/Blizzard/EpicGames) takes about 5-10 min tops to download.

    My hope is that maybe the servers are just slow and hard to connect to because of all the extra traffic lately but this needs to be fixed asap. If this continues for a few weeks.. I'll hate doing it as I've been really excited for it but I'll have to cancel
    my Ultimate Game Pass

    :)

    XOX/ XSX slow internet connection

    "I think the issue is that, if your total download speed for you internet is "60Mb/s. Upload 8 Mb/s,"

    and you connect a PC that uses 40Mb/s, a PC that uses 10Mb/s, and then another PC that uses 10Mb/s,
    your download speed will be maxed out."

    My PC's does not use 40Mb/s or 10 Mb/s because they are turned off. They don't download anything, It is a problem of Xbox live which is limiting my download speed on XSX.

    Super slow download for FIFA 17 Trial

    Same problem here in the uk. Internet connection showing usual 40Mb/s speed

    Every time I go to download a game or patch updates I'm getting less than 2Mb connection speed on Xbox One

    Digital copy download time?

    Yep as its a major game release the servers will be getting hammered with lots of users downloading the game. You will see your speed fluctuate constantly, There is nothing you can do to speed this up unfortunately, I downloaded this the minute it went on
    the store and was getting 12/13Mb/s. My connection maxes out at 19.8Mb/s and have never seen my xbox yet download anything at max speed.
