I've just bought an Xbox One S, it is hardwired to a Virgin M350 connection and I get just under 400Mbps when running the speed test on the Xbox, so pull speed.. However, when I download games I hardly ever see above 100Mbps.. How come? Is this down to MS servers not able to provide fast enough? (unlikely)
 
No clue but I know others from the VM forums get same issues with all consoles but at least you can get full speed in a test.

It could be MS servers esp. as many are home so gaming due to lockdown but have you tried at different times?

I can get full speed on My NV Shield wired but never tied to grab game on it.

Pretty sure it caps the speed if you've got a game or app running - could that be it?
 
I just tried again now (downloading the free trial of CoD Black Ops Cold War - Zombies) and I get 200Mbps.. This is the fastest I have seen it.. Good, but not quite full speed.. Just wanted to understand why to see if anything could be done to improve it)

No other game being played, so that wont be the reason.
 
Judging by the graph from my router I'd say it is speeding up.. Atleast its an upwards trend through the download..


(30 seconds interval)

I should have looked into it deeper before posting on a forum.. :-D Anyway..
