    Why is my multiplayer connection so slow but whenever I run a test on it, it says it’s fine?


    Basically what it says on the tin, my multiplayer connection is so poor and so slow whenever I join a game, yet whenever I run tests on it like “Test multiplayer connection”, “Test NAT type” or “Test network speed & statistics” it claims everything is fine. I have had this problem for a couple of months now ever since changing my network plan with my provider, luckily I don’t play online games too often but this can get really annoying whenever I do happen to play online games like Fifa or Fortnite. My step-brother lives in the same house as me and also has an Xbox but doesn’t experience any of these problems whenever he plays online.

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    Good evening

    Possible reasons for the problem:

    Bandwidth allocation: Your step-brother's online activities may be using up more bandwidth, leaving you with a slower connection. Consider optimizing your network usage or discussing bandwidth allocation with your Internet service provider (ISP).

    Network congestion: Even if your test results are fine, your connection might still suffer from congestion during peak usage times. This can result in slower speeds specifically for multiplayer gaming. Try playing during non-peak hours to see if there's any improvement.

    Network settings: Your router or network settings may be causing the issue. Ensure that your router's firmware is up to date and try forwarding the necessary ports for your games. You can consult your game's support website or forums for specific port forwarding instructions.

    Wireless interference: If you're using a wireless connection, interference from other devices or neighboring networks can impact your multiplayer experience. Switching to a wired connection or changing your Wi-Fi channel can help mitigate interference.

    Quality of Service (QoS): Your step-brother's device or applications might be prioritized over yours through QoS settings on the router. Check your router settings to ensure fair allocation of bandwidth among connected devices.

    Network hardware limitations: It's possible that your network hardware (router, modem, etc.) may not be capable of handling the increased demands of your new network plan. Consider upgrading your equipment to better support higher speeds.

    Very low upload speeds and sporadic ping

    Interestingly, whenever I test the multiplayer connection is says it's fine.

    Can’t finish multiplayer tests 0x0000000000000000

    So I haven't been able to play for a long time due to network, but my network is completely fine, I ran through every test, yet it says I'm connected, on the other hand I can't connect to multiplayer. I reset, signed in and out, I fully shut down, I even
    checked if my xbox was up to date. Everything stays the same, When I run test multiplayer it says "can't finish multiplayer tests". it tells me to back up and and try the test again. But my network is fine, what else do I need to do to fix this?

    everything runs completely fine and there is no problems, but i have to do this every time i sign in.
