• Are you confusing Mb (megabits) with MB (megabytes)?

    File sizes are typically expressed in bytes, while download speeds are typically expressed in bits.

    There are 8 bits in a byte.

    800 Mbps = 100 MBps.

    And I've learned something new today, I feel so dumb🤣. I never noticed that my games had uppercase B but the download speed was lowercase. Thanks lol

    its very common to get confused. The only differentiating factor in the acronym is the letter casing 'b'

    parent root

    Congratulations, you've learned the most important distinction in ISP marketing

    I never noticed that my games had uppercase B but the download speed was lowercase.

    Who would though?

    And even if someone did notice, they likely wouldn't think that it meant anything significant. :)

    Same here! Many thanks to the dude explaining that

    On steam with pc they use megabytes per second which is useful. Can't understand why xbox or ps don't do the same

    parent root

    Because people get upset on steam that they can only download 100MBps when they should download 8x that as they have 800Mbps from their ISP and blame steam for it being slow.

  • Yeah I wouldn’t complain about downloading 7GB every 60 seconds.

    parent

    Ikr I struggle to keep a stable 30 Mbps

    parent root

    Yeah, in Rochester Mn we have amazing fiber. I am still amazed that I can queue up a 100 gig game, putz around for 10 minutes and come back, sit down and play.

    parent root

    For me around an average 50-70Mbps taking an hour for a 65GB game and 1 and a half hours for a 90GB game

    parent root

  • Imagine trying to download a file that size with early 90's dial up internet. Yeah, you can play your game in 52 years

    parent

    old internet was 8mbps lol took 1 hour for 3GB

    parent root

    Think you will find old internet (dial up) was 56kbps

    parent root

    1200/75 and before that 300 baud on an acoustic coupler, I used to sell both at Tandy in the UK (Radio Shack for everyone else)

    parent root

    1 hour for 3GB?! What next gen world did you live in at the time :-)

    Sitting over here with my 2400 bits/s baud modem.

    parent root

    One song took 7 hours

    parent root

    Not always. I've had things take 4 days and that was less than 1 GB

    parent root

    Also, not everyone had that speed of internet. Just like today, some people have better internet than others do. Location and money are always a factor

    parent root

  • That's a damn good speed. You're effectively downloading 80MBps. If that was consistent, you could download that 88Gb file in about 20 mins.

  • Ik this is off topic but why can't I make a post?

  • The whole thing is based on Storage versus DL speed, peoples think it's the same unit, but it isn't.

    Storage work at the power 10 unit and the rest work with power 8.

    Which makes it so the higher you go the bigger the number difference is.

    Edit:

    Here you can see an example in that article : Article on Storage

    parent

    I forgot about that tbh, thanks for the link. I'll check it later! If it's not mentioned in there, there's also the read/write speed on the drive. Hdd's especially bottleneck downloads.

    parent root

    It's just me thinking the download speed was mega bytes and not mega bits

    parent root

  • This is somewhat different than what you are asking but for some reasons my consoles have always seemed to download slower than any other device in the house. PS4, switch, Xbox x, and stream deck all run well below my actual speeds. I’m probably missing something but just wanted to add.

    parent

    Your storage write speed is also a large factor. I recently replaced my xbox one x hdd because it was reading and writing at less than 1mbps when my download speed is over 100 times that

  • I download games a kbps sometimes 😭. Country livin

  • 2.5gz or 5gz?

  • How did you check the download speed on the xbox (second picture)

    parent

    Network settings and test network diagnostics

    parent root

  • Mine is the same way

    parent

  • When your playing while it's downloading. The download speeds turn very slow

    parent

  • Isn’t the Xbox one x supposed to automatically update games overnight when it’s off? I turned it on today and a game needed to update.

  • Marketing bs. Big numbers look nice.

    It would definitely be better if they converted for customer end use.

  • Does anyone know why my game only downloads to a certain point and cancels my installation

    parent

    Not enough space?

    parent root

    No, I had 16 extra gb but it stopped cancelling eventually. Idk what I did to stop it thought

  • Don't play games while downloading. Best thing to do is make sure downloading while turned off is checked, hit download and turn off the Xbox

    parent

  • "Looking at the bar," that's the % completion bar. It's downloading at 746.73 Mbps, 93.34125 MBps. The download rate always varies because it is dependent on the Server side; so, it could start slow and then speed up as it goes along.

    parent

  • Is it a common Xbox one problem that once every other day or so my game freezes and reboots me?

    parent

  • It is probably because it's old hardware on new internet .

    I have an original Xbox One S. The download speeds are absolutely horrible even though I have really fast internet.

    When I play my Playstation 5, the difference with downloads is like night and day.

    parent

    I'm on series s with ethernet

  • What is more surprising for me is the fact that you archieve 746Mbits on a Xbox One (if that’s really an Xbox One and not a Series S/X) Because I have a One X, upgraded to a SSD, and I never download faster than about 300Mbits I have a 10Gbits connection, the Xbox One plugged in via Gigabit ethernet

    parent

  • You are downloading at a very good speed. Remember though. Sometimes depending on the source you are downloading from and how busy it is. Can depend on how quickly you are able to download it.

    parent

  • It will also vary depending on if you’re using WiFi or connected straight to the router at least it does for me. A lot more efficient and quicker connected straight to the router with a higher nat type cable. Done both ways with my Xbox x/ ps5 hard wired increased it from WiFi download speed saying an hour to hard wired complete in 10 min.

  • Try cleaning your cache or better yet unplug everything that uses the internet in your house for like 5-10mins, go make a sandwich or something & then plug everything back in. This allows the cookies in your home network to break down & reset thus allowing faster internet speeds this should be done about once a month or so.

    parent

  • Wtf with your internet connection why it's so high I have with luck like 16mbp

    800mbps average with Ethernet plugged in, 500 without
