Servers allocate bandwidth based on current load across all Microsoft services, the size of the file and many other factors. So if you're downloading on a a Saturday afternoon, , prime time etc you're not going to see the highest speeds.

Bandwidth is capped no matter what at around 200mbps.

The issue of slow download speeds on Xbox Series S has been widely reported by users, and understandably so, it can be frustrating to experience. While restarting the console has been a suggested solution, it's clear that a deeper fix is needed.

Here's what we know about the issue and potential solutions:

Microsoft acknowledges the problem: Microsoft has acknowledged the issue and stated that they are investigating it. While no concrete solution has been announced yet, they are actively looking into the cause and how to fix it.

Potential causes: Several factors could be contributing to the slow download speeds, including network congestion, server issues, and console hardware or software problems.

Troubleshooting attempts: Users have tried various troubleshooting steps, including changing DNS settings, restarting routers and consoles, and running speed tests. However, these attempts haven't provided a consistent solution for everyone.

Need for a broader solution: While individual troubleshooting might work for some, a more comprehensive solution from Microsoft addressing the root cause is needed to resolve the issue for all affected users.

Here's what you can do:

Report the issue to Microsoft: Reporting the issue directly to Microsoft helps them gather data on the scope of the problem and prioritize the development of a solution.

You can submit a report through their support website: https://support.xbox.com/

Check for updates: Ensure your console and games are updated to the latest versions. This may include firmware updates for your console and patches for specific games.

Monitor for updates from Microsoft: Stay updated on any official communication from Microsoft regarding the issue. They might announce a solution or provide further troubleshooting steps through their website or social media channels.

Consider alternative solutions: While waiting for a permanent fix, explore alternative solutions to download games or updates, such as using a wired Ethernet connection or downloading larger files during off-peak hours when network congestion is lower.

Remember:

Slow download speeds can be frustrating, but it's important to be patient and cooperative.

Reporting the issue and providing feedback helps Microsoft identify and address the problem effectively.

Exploring alternative solutions can provide temporary relief while waiting for a permanent fix.

By working together, we can encourage Microsoft to prioritize this issue and find a solution that ensures a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience for everyone.

is the game done downloading...? it seems you might have very slow internet download speeds

Update to games freeezing. I found out was causing freezing with my game. Since I have slow internet speed, and with the Xbox one trying to download patch it would cause some files that are being downloaded to be infected. I recommend to download when internet
speed is at it's strongest. If you have a physical copy of game, then download without being connected to internet. After that is done reconnect to internet, then dowload patch when internet speed is still at it strongest. I hope this helps.

The speed of download depends a lot on the plan contracted and what is being done on other devices in the network, as they will interfere with the download speed and also with the connection with other services.
