Another post about Xbox One S internet speed

Hello!

Here are a few troubleshooting tips to try.

1.) Rebooting your Xbox completely

2.) Trying a different ethernet cable

3.) Rebooting you router or gateway (see wifi provider for more info)

4.) Disconnect all other devices and try again. It may just be too many devices are on your network.

5.) Try using a wireless network. If you get faster speeds with wireless, something is wrong with your wired connect port on your xbox or gateway. (If this is the case, stick with wireless since it’s faster.)

6.) Many high speed internet connections like yours usually run on a fiber network. At congestion times, speeds may slow. Try testing during a weekday or at night.

Hopefully these tips help!

P.S. 200+ Upload Speed should be more than enough to play on multiple consoles at once. Unless you are seeing performance issues or very high ping, I wouldn’t be worried.

Hi There,

The first ambassedor said it perfectly, but just to add one more thing Microsoft only requires a 3 Megabit connection so as far as online gaming goes, you have a fantastic connection. Just make sure you have a low ping and you can pretty much enjoy any game you want.

As far as speed for downloading games, I think almost 300 Megabits is pretty good and will allow you to download any game quickly, providing that you have a good amount of cap space.

I sometimes feel Microsoft throttle the service a bit . 

I'm on fiber. I get 150 on most devices but xbox I get 80 . 

Have you checked to see how many devices are connected.  Could be that to 🤔

Fiber, it is only a dream for us in rural locations. 

Another thing to check is that you are shutting games down correctly and that there is nothing updating in the background. 

Thanks for the response.

1. The Xbox has been rebooted several time no change
2. I will try different cable but the same cable is used on both Mac and Xbox in back and forth test. If the cable was defective or had issues would have shown the problem on Mac too.
3. Router has been rebooted several times.
4. There is absolutely nothing using the bandwidth or any other device on line during the test
5. Wireless Speed is even worst

And the end still something dose not make sense. All conditions are identical between Mac and Xbox. I take the same cable out of Mac and immediately insert into Xbox and back to MAC.

The test is still shows tremendous drop in speed in both upload and download on Xbox. There is no downloading or any other activity on Xbox at the time of the test.  I think there is something missing from this equation from Microsoft.

Depending on how new the Macbook is, it might be able to handle faster speeds.

What you are getting right now with your xbox is plenty though. Is there a specific reason you need faster speeds?

And some oeople, like me as of today, don't even that.  I get only 1.5 Mb in 400 kb out and I know I can't play a 20-80 player epic. Other games are "your mileage may vary". That's why i post results on 56ok.org 

I know there are hundreds of posts already about the issue of Internet speed on Xbox, however none of the replies has provided an coherent answer or all the element that could contribute to speed was not listed by poster, so on that note

1. Internet provided FIOS 

2. Plan 940 Download / 880 Upload max

3. Connection to Xbox via wired Ethernet port 4 feet away

4. Cable CAT6

5. Changed the DNS to both Cloudflare and Google DNS servers

5. No other devices is utilizing the bandwidth

6. Site to test the connection speed: www.verizon.com/speedtest/

The test:

I connect the cable from Router to Ethernet port of MacBook. Utilizing the speed test site, I pretty much on average get these speeds on MacBook:

Download: 920 Mbps

Upload: 800 Mbps

I then get the same cable by removing it from MacBook and attaching it to Xbox. I then used the same same site via Xbox Edge browser and these are best results I can get:

Download: 281 Mbps

Upload: 41 Mbps

I have switched back and forth between Mac and Xbox by using the same cable and different times of the day but the results are pretty much the same.

Any feedback is appreciate it.

Server side is also a factor

Hi Gariani, 

The xbox will always appear to have lower speeds, it should download still quite fast, but its still limited to the amount it can handle in and out. 

Your network point on the console might not be capable of handling anything above 400mb/s 

The slow downloads of games could also potentially be server side limitations.
