Why has Microsoft set a limit on bandwidth coming from Xbox Live accounts?

You may want to double check to make sure your fathers account still has an active live subscription.

When you say that you cant use the live subscription do you mean that you cant start a party or join multiplayer games? Or you can not get the games with gold games?

These are really the only things that the gold subscription is required for.

In order for you to use your fathers live subscription whatever console you want to use it on would need to be set as your fathers home console.

If you were able to use his subscription on YOUR console previously and now are not able to use it on your console then at some point your console was set as your fathers home console and now it no longer is set as your home console.

You can see if a console is set as a profiles home console by signing into the profile on the console going into settings and going to personalization.

It will either tell you this is your home console or make this your home console.

Let me explain it to you on how it has ALWAYS worked since the Xbox One has come out.

1. No matter what console a profile is signed into it will always be able to use ANY Digital game that that profile has purchased and use ANY subscription that it has purchase on that particular console.

2. Each profile can set ONE console at a time as its HOME console and ANY other profile on that console can then play that profiles digital games and use ANY of its subscriptions.

3. You can change which console is set as your HOME console FIVE times a year.

Now if you have two consoles whichever console is NOT set as your home console the other profiles can still play your games and use your subscriptions but YOUR profile will need to be signed in at the same
time. IF the Non-Home console ever loses internet connection they will not be able to play your games or use your subscriptions.

Let me give you an example of how my household works:

I have 2 Xboxes a 1s in my living room and a OG 1 in my bedroom.

I have 99.9% of the games on my account

Xbox 1s is set as my home console ALL of the profiles on that console can play my digital games and use my subscriptions.

If my wife wants to use the OG One in the bedroom to play my games or use my subscriptions she would then sign into my account first then switch profiles to hers she is then able to play all my games and
use my subscriptions.

It has never happened because I play my games more on my computer and stream to my computer but IF I ever wanted to play my 1s and my wife play a game at the same time it would not be able to happen because
you can only be signed into ONE Xbox ONE console at a time.

THIS is how it has ALWAYS been since the original Xbox One came out. There has never been a change to these settings.

Let me see if I can explain how it would work in your situation.

This is under the assumption that your father has the gold subscription and the games were purchased under his account.

We will go with this diagram for easier understanding:

A1 & C1 = your account and your console

A2 & C2 = your fathers account and his console

If you want to use your fathers subscriptions and play his digital games then:

you would have to either set C1 as A2s home console or be signed into A2 at the same time you are signed into A1 on C1

If you have C1 set as A2s home console then in order for ANY other profile to use A2s gold and play his games on C2 then they would have to have A2 signed in at the same time.

If you have C1 do not have C1 set as A2s home console and have your fathers account signed in at the same time you are signed in and playing games IF A2 is signed in on ANY other Xbox 1 you will be kicked
out of the game because A2 will then be signed out of C1 because you can ONLY be signed into one Xbox 1 at a time.

Hope this clears things up some.

my father's been purchasing Xbox Live on his account for two years and up until recently I'd been able to use MY account on MY Xbox and still use Xbox Live services. If its the case that I cant use Live on another console because Im not the account that
initiated the purchase, then i dont see how i was able to use it last year. My home Xbox is the one that we have it purchased on. It has been my home Xbox the whole time. My dad has it purchased and even when i sign into his account on my Xbox Im unable to
switch to my profile and use Live
