Xbox One X - Slower Download Speeds

Afternoon, I am having an issue with the downloads speeds on my Xbox One X console. I am hard wired into a 1gb fibre line (Cat6) on my Desktop and my console. When I do speedtest.net speed tests on my desktop I am getting around 940mb download / upload.

When I do the detailed Network Statistics on my console my download will never go above 250mb but my upload is always around the 900mb mark. When I download games they never hit more than 20mb/sec.

Just wondered if anyone knew why this would be happening ? The speed of the servers clearly isn't the problem because of the high upload speed !

Many thanks.

:)

 

slow updates

A main factor in the speed along with slower internet speeds is the size of the update.

Xbox has a good Troubleshooting article for slower downloads.

 

Slow download speeds on Xbox One X

I did a test on my home network a while back, I am also on a 120mbs connection and my supplier is Virgin.

Hardwired to the router I got the full 120mbs, through Wi-Fi however it was just 60mbs. And through the Wi-Fi extender in the back room it was just 30mbs.

Put this problem to Virgin and they upgraded my router to the new version they now install and I now get the full 120mbs through my Wi-Fi.

But I always have my Xbox One and Xbox 360 hardwired to the router anyway.

 

Hello! do already try to do a Console Power cycle, this happened to me time ago too and i fix it doing this:

Reinicio o reinicio avanzado de la consola Xbox One

If the previous recomendation doesnt work for you, just do what i do, turn the console off and unplug the AC cable for 30 seconds and plug it in again, this will do the same effect than power cycle...

Let us know if these sugestions help, i hope this fix this inconvenient. Good Luck!

 

Hi I tried this and I'm still getting 190mb download 840mb upload ?!?!?!

 

Well i think is pretty good download speed, remember that one thing is the theorical speed that your service provides you, and another the real speed that certain server will let you to download some contenue, that means you have a high bandwith to download
but the server that is providing you this games maybe cant match this download speed, so your real speed will be limited to the server speed you are trying to download any contenue. In my experience Microsoft has one of the fastest services about download
speed, i have 150MB of download speed, and i download games from the MS Store between 80 to 100MB/s and this is using Wifi; to contrast this, i have my computer conected to an Ethernet cable, and when i download from Steam or Origins my download Speed is around
20MB/s. Also you have to concider that there are more ussers downloading contenue than uploading thats why the upload speed will be always higger. Think about one HDD, copying from the same source to 3 differents External HDD´s, the speed will be reduce to
one third, than if just will be one copy, of course doesnt work exactly like this with a server, but is for you have an idea. Try this... Check your copy speed lets say at 12 to 2am or very early at 7am, and compare this with the speed at 6 to 8pm when the
internet traffic is higher, i am almost sure that the results will be very different.
