Why are Game and update download speeds so slow?

hey, i was just wondering why my updates are going so slow that they are 50 kb a second when my download speed is 40?

Try to close your game and check your download speed again.

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help with your game update problem.

If I may ask, is this only happening to one particular game that is currently updating? Is this happening to other games as well when you try to download them?

If this is happening to one particular game, this could also be due to their servers when updating a game.

If this is happening to all games, you may also do a reset on the console to see if this helps.

Let's refresh the console's system cache.

NOTE: This will remove the profiles on your console, make sure that you remember the email and password to your account.

No data or game saves will be lost doing this, everything is backed up to the cloud servers.

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

2. Select Settings.

3. Select System.

4. Select Console info

5. Select Reset console.

6. Select Reset and keep my games & apps

This will also help sync the data on your console properly.

If that does not help, try this.

Please Go to Settings:

> Network

> Network Settings

> Advanced Settings.

Select the alternate MAC address and then select delete/clear.

You must restart the console for the change to take effect.

And please do this:

Set DNS manually. To manually configure DNS settings, follow the steps below:

1.- Go to Settings

2.- Select Network

3.- Select Network Settings

4.- Select Advanced network settings.

5.- Go to DNS Servers, set it to Manual> enter 8.8.8.8 in the 'Primary' field and 8.8.4.4 in 'Secondary'

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.

Having problem with games on demand games that are very slow downloading on high speed connection.Tell me why is it so slow for these games or buy the disc copy of each game that is shown in my status.Thanks for helping me.

For those with the disc version who are still experiencing slow install/updates ...

Try installing the disk why not connected to Xbox LIVE, once done, connect and download any updates for the game, this has helped speed up the process for others.
