    (Xbox One S) Xbox live update ridiculously slow download speeds


    Hello,

    I have extremely fast internet speeds. My carrier does not throttle.

    Why is it that after the past year or so my xbox speeds when downloading specifically xbox updates, are literally 1998 download speeds?

    To my knowledge, Microsoft is a multibillion dollar company, close to a trillion dollar company.

    With this kept in mind, and the billions in "world class" maintenance, research and development, how are the xbox servers so deliberately & certainly artificially throttled from Microsofts end?

    I'm guessing, oh, i dont know, maybe 1 mb download every 10 minutes.

    I have live readings from my router, its 120mps download as we speak. 20ms latency/ping.

    I have reset the router, i have called my isp, i have factory reset this xbox.

    This problem cannot be a physical component.

    Can you disclose if Microsoft limits the downloads on their update servers?

    I wanted to buy an xbox series X, (when your artifical, monopolistically inflated & limited supply of millions of units are shipped from your warehouses, meant to choke the console and pc market for your benefit, to create demand), will this occur on that console aswell?

    Thanks! ️️

    :)

    How to fix slow download speed on Xbox one S

    Hello dear Xbox support

    I have a problem on my Xbox one S, the problem is slow internet speed, its between 200kB/s and 80kB/s, and the problem start before 10 days ago.

    I tried to solve this problem by :

    1- restarting Xbox and still download slow.

    2- restarting my router but still the same problem.

    3- unplug the wired cable and plug it again, but still the same problem.

    4- connecting my Xbox to wifi connection, same problem.

    5- testing my internet speed on my laptop by using the same cable (wired connection) and the speed is like usual 1.5 mB/s, and upload is 220 kB/s.

    6- change wifi password and disconnect all devices from connecting to my internet, still the same slow damn download speed.

    7- trying to test my internet speed on Xbox and my internet speed was : 9.19 mbps, and that's my natural internet speed, so the problem not from my internet provider.

    8- trying to re-download the games that I want to download and updates, still the same **** download speed.

    9- trying downloading new games, same slow download speed.

    10- testing some DNS's, nothing new, same slow download speed.

    11- resetting my xbox one S (not full reset) and trying to download games and updates, same problem.

    I tried anything you can imagine, any new ideas guys ?
    Now i just bought red dead redemption, imagine how time I need to download 101GB with 80kB/s speed!

    There's one think I can tell is Xbox limited download speed from their servers, and I'm from morocco.

    I hope I can solve this problem. and By the way yesterday I want to download microsoft edge for testing, and the download speed was the same as on my Xbox xD, 80kB/s. and I'm downloading and watching movies with 1.2mB/s
    Are you connected through landline, or through a celllular service?

    Since Marocco is not among the countries/regions where the Live service is supported, so how do you connect your console to Xbox Live? Through a VPN service?

    Downloading digital games

    Your download speed is also highly dependant on what speed you get from your ISP. How can MS improve download speeds, if your connections are slow. Do you even know what your speeds are?

    I'm on 120Mb/s down 10Mb/s up. No slow downloads here. As for an HD iTunes movie, they are typically around 3GB, a typical Xbox One game is between 10 and 50GB.

    BF4 taking over 7 hours to get to 12% installation

    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.
