When my downloads reach 50% the download speed drops from 50mbps to less than 1mbps

Is there is any chance that you could reset the source of you Internet connection? I had connections slowed down a lot in the past even with a good connection. Can you do a speed test?

I feel you. I have this issue quite often too but that's not triggered when the status reaches 50%, it's rather random...

Though I found that by clearing my hard drive (deleting some games...) during some downloads, it causes problems like loading times increasing. and download speeds are affected too (writing speeds I should say).

So, my advice is clean your hard drive which maybe is a mess.

Do you have an external hard drive you could use ? It might simplify the process. What I suggest is that you move every game in your internal storage, to your external storage. After this is done, you revert the process. This way every game is written in
the good spot on the HDD and it might bring back its original performance.

There is always there possibility that you're ISP is throttling you're bandwidth due to excessive strain. Have you check with your ISP about this situation?

Try updating the console/resetting it, if it still doesnt work, probably time to upgrade to a newer console

Hi Skywalker,

thanks for the reply.

I am trying to download the new COD and it could be a server issue... On my end I have carried out speed tests on my phone, laptop and Xbox and they are all reporting the download speeds of up to 50Mbps. yet my download speed in 'games and apps' for the
COD game has not reached over 5Mbps as of me last checking and is dropping to as low as 500Kbps.

The NAT is also open..
