Hi all. I wonder if anyone could help me with a bit of troubleshooting. After years on ADSL I have just been upgraded to FTTP. It seemed only right to go for the 330 down / 50 up service which is a slight improvement over the 4mbps I have had. It was only installed 3 days ago and I'm checking various speed tests to make sure everytihing is working. One of the big improvements I was hoping for was the ability to update Xbox One games at a reasonable speed. So far the average seems to be around the 70-80mpbs mark which is a big improvement but not quite the miracle I was hoping for. It does occasionally spike higher and was briefly at 150mbps while I was typing this but now back to 70mbps.
I really asking what sort of speeds people on faster connections are getting to figure out if this is a limitation set by Microsoft or an issue with my connection. I can pull just over 300mbps on a multi threaded speed test but the single thread tests and single file downloads all seem to be sub 100mbps.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
 
Ok thanks for that. That's what I was hoping for. It's not the network since I can plug into the seem wall socket Xbox One X is connected to and get 300mbps on a speedtest. I have tried a few big test files off the internet and I'm getting the same 70-80mbps speeds. I suspect something isn't quite right. I'm fine with multithreaded downloads but any single thread stuff it running at a fraction of what I would expect
 
Mine is wired to gigabit switch which is wired to my Virgin router.

Not sure what is going on tbh. Unless you have a lot of Xbox’s in your area and live is busy...
 
Not sure either. I'll speak to my ISP to see if there's an issue. Was testing last night with laptop connected straight to the ONT and still not getting decent speeds.
 
Got a reply from my ISP. Congestion on the service. Not a brilliant start to my time with FTTP but hopefully something that can be fixed.
 
I get anything from 80-190mbps sometimes a little more, that's over wifi, I don't expect to get my full speed over wifi (vivid 350) plus my xbox is quite far from my router.

I downloaded RDR2 (88.1gb) yesterday in just over an hour, pretty good going.

That’s a bit crappy. Be nice if they told you this before you sign up....

Yep but to be fair it's not really the ISPs fault. Congestion is on the BT network rather than theirs. Apparenrly BT are aware and it's due to be looked at. The question is how long it's going to take though!
 
I’m with EE fibre, 40 down and 10 up, my Xbox never goes above 30 while downloading though, not the best, just have to make sure I catch the pre-loads for anticipated games
 
On 1gig fibre (in NZ) and Xbox downloads usually get pretty close to maxing that out so certainly sounds like your ISP. PS4 downloads can be pretty slow and don't even get me started on Audible, might as well be on dial-up!
