Xbox Series Updates

380 and 480? LOL. AOL called, they want their dial up back. I get double that.

The Xbox/MS store has notoriously always been extremely slow, games that would download at maybe 200Mb/s, where in Steam store and PS Store I could routinely max out my 1Gb (when I briefly had cable) and 500Mb lines (Fiber).

When I had cable I needed the 1Gb package to get more upstream which at the time was a paltry 42Mbps. I never needed or wanted 1Gb of downstream bandwidth. Currently I have a 500Mbps symetrical fiber line that is more than enough.

Yeah, MS is can sometimes have an item queuing for the longest time before it actually starts picking up the pace.

I get about 800 on both Xbox and PS Stores. I pay for 1GB.

That's weird I don't have this problem.

I've always found Xbox quicker than PS for downloading. This gen they have been the same.

I can get 1300 but what is the point. Games download quick enough. In-game lag/latency is usually fine. Never had an issue streaming 4K content. No point to it really.

Other than flex, I don't have a reason for it. Probably just a waste of money really.

It actually costs more for the lower internet speeds with the company I use. It's like $70 for the 250/125 and I pay $58 for the 600/300 speed. It makes no sense to me.

Okay, they did something weird to my internets again.

Agree, I have a 1G speed matched up and down and I can tell you the download is capped at the other end.
