So I tested my connection speed on my console and it consistently reports above 100mbps. When I go to download games it only gives me from 1-10mbps. Is there a way to boost this speed? It takes forever to download simple updates

I leave updates and installs on this screen because it seems like the speeds show/are faster. It could be totally anecdotal but worth a shot.

Make sure you have all games and apps closed. Even then, your speeds will be limited based on server caps

It still sucks. My PC and Xbox come out of the same router. My xbox is consistently 20% of what my PC can get. Microsoft's servers blow. I can download games on Steam literally hours quicker than what I can on my xbox.

Does Xbox show bits instead of bytes? I know steam defaults to bits.

When I do the network speed test in the Xbox settings I get around 950 mbs. When I download games I get an average of 200mbs. Most I’ve seen is 350. Must be restricted some way.
