Wanted to share some info I’ve been reading around the Xbox forums. On the Series X I’m getting 500 mb down and about 2-5mb upload. Normally i get 15-20mb upload. This disparity in upload speed seems to be a common issue. More puzzling is the fact that opening the internet browser and running a speedtest upload speeds show a normal 15 mb upload. It seems this may be an issue with the Xbox statistics test under the settings tab. Cross reference your speeds with both the xbox statistics test and the internet browser test. The 1% packet loss that displays on the xbox statistics test is also absent on the browser speed test.
Yoo you’re a lifesaver bro this the only video that actually worked😭 I went from 2.65 mbps to 130 mbps. Ik that still sucks but it shortened my download speed from 13 hrs to 1 1/2 hour
@@CleanGoose96 If you don't have a Ethernet cord get one . If you can't at the moment just change your dns to what he said . It doesn't make it go up much but it's averages around the same instead of going up and down if your internet is bad
Man, when I started watching this, my game was downloading at 23mbps. I did absolutely nothing to the xbox but I just realized it's now downloading with 270mbps and keep in mind even tho I'm connected to 5ghz internet it's still wireless. You do magic man

DNS won't actually effect your download (sustained connection) speed, what it can speed up is the time it takes to make new connections to new servers, but the XBOX (like all windows based computers) does maintain a DNS Cache, so even with a slower DNS service, commonly, and recently used connections shouldn't suffer from that DNS lag after an initial connection is made. A bigger help would be to recommend users adjust the QoS settings in their router to set the XBOX to a higher priority than other machines.
YEAH I have all these videos with misinformation, where DNS affects download speed. It does NOT! It never has since the beginning of the internet! DNS is just for resolving names into IP addresses.
Thankyou for posting this. By default a machine does not know the destination IP to a name server, assuming the machine is configured with a dns ip address through dhcp or manually configured the machine will simply send a dns query to the dns server ip. The DNS server will then send a reply back to the machine with the destination ip of the server name they want to communicate with. Also I only have my phone and my xbox on my network so I wouldnt really benefit from qos just 2 devices with gig speed x.x
The reason why is because of the internet data connection to the game itself! It routes data to the game which uses resources! When your not playing the game it funnels all the resources to the download!!
I get like anywhere from 50-85 but it usually holds it in the 60mbps range. Trust me the flex is earned seeing as 30mbps used to be considered fast for me 😭.
Thought this was all gonna be common sense, or nonsense, but turns out the DNS actually works, from 1000kb/1.5-3mbs, to 15mbs, thank you, now I will play fh5 early:)

Thanks for the tips! I was wondering why my download speed was being capped at 20mbps when downloading games while network settings show my download speed is 250mbps. Closing down games running in the background did the trick for me! Saw in your vid (@5:50) that yours was also at around 20mpbs, before you closed down games in the background. Is this like the capped download speed when you're running games, regardless of your internet speed?
@@TurboSpeedWiFi Purchased Xbox Series S recently. Trying to download the Forza Horizon 4 but game download keeps stopping and starting. I have downloaded 46GB of FH4 in 3 days. It's happening with other games as well ( Forza 5, Batman Arkham Asylum, A Way Out, Nfs Heat) All these games downloads stops after 10-11 GB. Downloaded one game at a time. I have good internet speed with unlimited plan. There is no cap on data. To check this, I have another console with me so I put the game on downloading( size of 60GB) and it got downloaded in 5 hrs same day.

Pro tip, buy an external ssd, or if you can afford it, the official seagate expansion. Transfer speeds are much faster than anyones internet. Simply store games for later and then move them when you want to play. This works for multiple consoles as well. Just take the ssd from one to the other and copy the whole game over. The official seagate expansion copys/moves at around 6 Gbps. 6x faster than the ethernet ports can handle. My ssd is around 1 or 2 gbps. But still more consistent speeds than downloading.
WOW... My download speeds seem more stable with google dns. It would fluctuate a lot before between 100 and 300. Now it's basically 350 plus all the time. Thank you for the video!
I use a Ethernet cable and when I tested my network speed it said 4 mbps. That can’t be right but it makes sense because 60 GB games have taken over 24 hours to download
My download speed when I do the test on xbox is always well above 450mbs, but when I go to the gaming I'm downloading it shows it only downloading around 15-20 mbs. No other games running and its hardwired.

Good tips except DNS has no relationship to or impact on network bandwidth or upload/download speed. There may be SLIGHT differences (I’m talking milliseconds) in how quickly an address is resolved when a new connection is established, but other than the initial connection it does not affect speed whatsoever. It usually either works or doesn’t. You’ll know if it doesn’t.
