Lately I’m noticing slow download speeds on Xbox. Tried it with demos, full games like Last Descendant, now I’m downloading Sand Land, just bought it.
It’s at 150-180 Mbps and it doesn’t get higher at all, this is with both wired and WiFi. This is while my own internet speed is 750 Mbps.
Why is this happening? Even with WiFi you’d think I can at least get it to 300 Mbps.
Are you checking while gaming? Xbox does prioritize our game connection over downloads.
I blame MW3.
My God I couldn’t go back to 360 cuz it takes a long time to download a game. Geez
I had no games running and I always choose suspend game to have it at max speed.
How so?
It wasn’t that long ago that I’d easily reach 250 or higher, it sucks right now.
People downloading/installing the game could dry thin the server. Then again, I’m only joking, but like Fortnite coming to cloud day one crashed live, you never know.
Just under a week and COD already moved to #3 from 5th
Might as well do the update for top 50 games in Aus (29th-July) this update is from 17th-July
Interesting mentions; Among us ending up in 50th spot, XDefiant is sitting at 37, Baldurs Gate sitting at #38 which is lower than Starfield, The First Descendant sitting at 17th.
It’s crazy how FH5 can be in the same ballpark with games like Overwatch.
Bethesda is the only studio with single player games in that list, with 3 games and 5 total games in the list with their IP.
Diablo is a very seasonal game, lots of play in the beginning of a new season and then dies down slowly, similar to PoE. Season 4 is ending soon so it makes sense. For ex, PoE last season peaked at 180k and was at like 5-10k by the end on steam.
I am such a chump, lord almighty.
So the culprit was…well me for being a dumb ass, that’s one. Two, the ethernet cable was not fully inserted into the port, because the clip broke off, so it’s quite loose. That, and the other end was still in the Switch and not Xbox.
So it was using WiFi all along. Now I get speeds between 300 and 500.

Think Microsoft underestimated the lengths of what COD cheaters will go through to cheat lol.
Pour one out for the Xbox 360 Marketplace today. 
At this point they either need to find a way target hardware and start banning them through there. Or shadow banning cheaters and putting them on cheaters only lobbies.
It happens.
It’s going to be a life long battle for them. Even ABK before the purchase never really quite found a permanent solution.
Hopefully they address this quickly.

It always will be, as I don’t think there’s a 100% solution. But taking measures to keep it from going out of their control should keep the player base happy.

While I admit, MW3 is pretty damn fun, this right here I forgot this is a case…
For those wondering about the SBMM discussion going on around MW3 :
Hope it clears things up. It’s really that simple. I don’t know why people are still confused.
