Why are MS servers so slow?

Its not my ISP, the xboxs own speed test shows 220+mbps, yet when downloading i get less than 50% of that.

Ethernet cable is a new cat5e that came with the modem.

Hi

Your ISP might be the issue, they can throttle network traffic from different content delivery networks over their system. I've seen users with gigabit connections downloading at over 800Mbs so the system is capable.

Hey Kimboslicer,

I've done a bit research on the matter and did not find any concrete answers whether or not MS servers cap download speeds. However I did find a discussion thread on

Reddit talking about this matter.

Some people have similar issues but for the most part people who have fast internet are getting those speeds on download. Sometimes it will throttle to prevent any impact to the operating system use, but it does not seem to dip as low as you mention it's
doing on your devices. Some people even say they get up to 500 mbps download speeds on their Xbox One X.

I would suggest at least for your Xbox to maybe try a
Soft Factory Reset to restore the operating system.

Ultimately if this issue is unique to your network's connectivity to MS servers, then I suggest you report the problem to Microsoft through the

Xbox Insider Hub app to bring it to their attention.

Hope this helps.

The Xbox and PC are both connected with a cable, hence the 1gbps.

I have done a hard reset on the Xbox.

All ports mentioned there are already opened and of course the IP in each rule is correct for the xbox [Mod Removed-Personal Info-IP Address]

NAT is open

Speed test on the One X sees 199mbps but downloading anything its at 100 with constant drops to 20

PC downloads fine on Steam as is speedtest.net, but when trying to download from the MS store its slow

Can your ethernet cable handle 1gbps? A faulty cable could be the reason.
