- So it's 2020... Gigabit internet has been around for a while, but it might finally be useful since we're trying to download 100GB updates for the Xbox One everyday (thanks, COD). Should you spend extra money to get gigabit speeds for your Xbox One (1000Mbps)?? Let's find out in this video...
FYI, I used Google fiber in this video, and I live in a fairly large metropolitan area.

Haha slow my internet is 5mbps with 7 ppl on it so it’s from 0mbps-2mbps average took me a straight week without turning my one-so off to download cod on disk
110 GB game on 2 mbps
Its pretty real estate
My internet is awful in my room
Bits and bytes are very different. There are 8 bits in a byte and speeds from providers are measured in bits. 1000 megabits p/s is 125 megabytes p/s
Jacob R : Downloads at 200Mbps

To be honest sometimes when I am downloading on my xbox one x I go from 45 mbps to 400kbps
Not a single mbps

You have to realize, you're only as fast as the fastest download speed from the server your downloading from. Most companies throttle their upload speeds to "distribute" the load among users and not to overwhelm their server. You may have 1gig download, but if Steam limits their upload to 35MB, then thats all you going to get.
Hello, fellow two smart people! :)
I think steam has an option where u can do more then MB ik origin which I'd EA game launcher ulwhen u download a game through there u can go limited or unlimited gives u options
I don’t have any throttles im getting 45 mb/s (400+ mbps)
@@tarragoni4161 if u have 400 mbp that translates to 50 mega bits per second which I's faster then mega bytes per second
The biggest advantage of a fiber connection is the ping/latency. On fiber you are the only customer all the way back to the LCP. Whereas on a coax/fiber hybrid network you are sharing a fiber with 500+ other customers fed off the same node as you where that fiber terminates. It’s basically equivalent to the old T1 business lines back in the day, you are the only one on a dedicated line. Not subject to high traffic congestion, etc as you are on coax/fiber hybrid
I agree - I get 1000/1000 24/7 but I pay for 1000/1000 24/7
Theirs a couple of things you need to consider
1- The write speed of the hdd (Xbox x has a mechanical drive inside by default. An ssd would be a little quicker in writing the data to the disk and loading said game.
2-Yes your right the speed of the servers is something to question.
3- Downloading a digital game in stand by mode will download a lot quicker as Xbox has to deal with all the BS that go’s on in the dashboard like advertisements and friends list.
I personally have an internet connection of 600 down 41 up and Iv NEVER really seen it download higher than 200.
Interesting video by the way hope the series X has a better story.
I have 900mbps, and most I've seen when downloading a game is 707mbps.
Is connected through Ethernet?
@@YungMackent Then rule it down as server and write speed
I have Verizon Fios gigbit connection and it’s crazy fast and consistent. They only measure speed from their equipment to your home. Anything connected can cause bottle necks. That’s why sometimes speed tests show 400-500. If they test the fiber outside it will be around 900.
That makes a lot of sense although it is kind of deceptive. I have a 12 Mbps package from my provider (fiber ain't available because I don't live in a town or near a highway) and I only get 5 Mbps even though they say in pulling 12 Mbps every time I call them to fix it.
As far as your ISP and the gaming servers communication your upload speed should be higher then 10. Your upload is more important than download in terms of game performance. Only advantage of high download speed is for downloading games.
Can you start making more Foreign Disc Videos Again bc I love these videos
I'm running 7 download 1 upload for $60 per month. I will 100% buy gigabit internet because this company offers 1GB download 1GB upload for $100/month only downside is I have to wait for them to come out our way.
Man i thought 20 mps was good
I think your thinking of ping or packet loss
Why would you think that.
@@TheManm333 its really not bad, I currently have 20mbps and I can stream 4k with no issues on Netflix and I rarely get any lag while gaming (Xbox one and switch)
@@user-dz2gj3pn5n That's awesome! I just love speed speed speed lol.
subTAZEツ dude I download games from steam at 350kb per sec I thought this was good
Pro Mbit divided by 8 is the maximum Megabyte speed you can get. This means if you have a 1000 Mbit/s down connection, then you can download with a maximum of 125 MBytes/s
the xbox already measure speeds in megabits not bytes so this distinction is irrelevant. He's getting around 150 Mbps so that's only 18.75 MBps.
Also depends if the servers in use by a lot other people downloading the same update can slow the download speeds like that or if you are on shared node with other people on your block can also slow your speeds
What city are you in and who's your Isp? Pretty important information for a video like this my fellow Jacob R.
Google fiber
Thanks for the reply,, I had Cox gig internet in Omaha Nebraska a few years ago and with a LAN connection with an original Xbox I was never able to achieve over 300mbps-ish I truly believe now that's the Microsoft servers limit, based off your video.
Xbox Game Servers and PS4 Servers dont let you download at Full Capacity, Due to the constant load on their servers they just don't have enough bandwidth, If you do it during night time you will notice an increase as the EU Transitions to morning.
I think that MW/Xbox has a download cap so it dosen't crashes. With Steam you can change the download speeds as you like
It’s also limited to your hard drive if you had a ssd the download speeds would be at the 700+
So it’ll download games faster on the series x????
@@johny1220 yes
@@jagermain4658 they are faster on my series x, although it’s also their servers that bottleneck your speeds as well :((
This is just a guess but I think it is a limitation of the other end where the software is being downloaded from. That server probably only has a max upload speed of 200 Mbps or less.I wonder if a SSD Hard Drive would make a difference?, probably not!
When your building a pc you can put in a 300mbps receiver or even a 1000mbps receiver. The Xbox and the PS consoles only have a 100mbps receiver that why it’s not gonna be 1000mbps. so the average speed in the Xbox or ps will be between 100-200mbps.Hopefully the next generation will have 300mbps or even 1000mbps.
There are no 300Mbps Nic cards. It's either 10/100/1000 Nic cards.. The xbox one X has a 1000Mbps Nic card in it. By getting over 100Mbps proves that the xbox one, S, X have Gigabit nic in them.
this is false.
@@bossman18899 Whats false?
The problem is that you are downloading faster than the hard drive can handle. It has to slow down for the hard drive to catch up.
Did you do this during the peak hours from 6PM to 10PM???
The bottleneck is the xbox's hard drive. You would be able to stream really high quality video but in the end gigabit would always be worth it
This is the same thing from the beginning that you may have all those speeds but if the servers don't give you that. FTP servers back in the days was the way to go or LAN sharing
The purpose of gigabit Internet is not connecting a single user at 1Gbps. Your speed is being limited by the server you are downloading from. Gigabit is for connecting multiple users at once at 200 Mbps each.
It matters how fast your storage unit can write. PC's can have really fast SSD's that are even faster than a gigabit. It's the Xbox itself that is limiting the download speed.
What’s a better router to use for Xfinity to get more out of your one gig Internet
I‘m living in Germany in a small town and i get 250 mps in download and thats the Maximum i could get. Maybe try to change your router settings there are articles and videos which show what settings do you have to choose for the best download- and upload rates. I have an Xbox Series X. My Xbox 360 Slim got the same speed.
Me having 900kbps-10mbps
There's a maximum download speed that an console can take for the Xbox one X it's between 200 and 250 wait till next gen for gigabit sort of speed.
There is definitely a cap but he needs to call his Isp because I have gig internet and get over 300mbps when downloading on xbox one x.
The best I’ve gotten with my gigbit is 450 down. It hovered around 200-350 most of the download
After having a gig for about 6 months now i can tell you that a normal spinning hard drive cannot keep up with it basically bottlenecks it. Downloading to a ssd or NVME drive is when you can finally hit those speeds from what i tested. so no it's not worth it unless you have a ssd or nvme.
The slow download speeds are not on your end but on the video games servers end
I have AT&T fiber and it’s a game changer for my ps5 and Xbox series x
By the way when it says downloading 160 mbps it’s not talking about megabits which you got on the test it’s megaBYTES which are 8x larger in size then megabits so basically 8 X 90-110 megabytes is 730-890 megabits so it’s different
What router are you using?
I’m wondering that too
Unless you've got an SSD in your Xbox you won't ever see those speeds. Mechanical drives are slower constantly reading and writing sector's in different parts of the drive that's why you've got crap speeds.
Aren't speeds affected by server strain and time of the day?
The limit is because Microsoft also has a internet connection with a max speed of xxxx and everyone shares it.
That's absolutely fine the fact that it doesn't go over a 1 GB is cos most of the sea ports are GB and there are overheads
I have 1 gig internet hard wired to my xbox and detailed network statistics still say under 100 Mbps. Any idea why or how to fix this? Every other speed test I run says I have 1 gig internet except for on the xbox one. It is hard wired as well.
I have the fiber in France but I dont know why I only have around 35/45 mb/s and no 1000mb/s
I don't have an xbox but what hard disk is in it? because on my gigabit fibre connection I have to download to my NVMe disk to get the full 950Mbps.
The limiting factor is the hdd.
The xbox can't copy the files as fast as a pc with an ssd can.
That's why you get gbit speeds on pc and on Xbox/ps4 only around 200-250max, although the connection speed is much higher.
well that's not true
@@ashleyhorton1042 it is
@@thatoneocto❤
The harddrive write speeds cant go that fast. Ssds will download faster.
Do the PlayStation foreign disc again there is some thing new I want you to see
No matter how much you are able to download, you could have unlimited bandwidth like say for instance, 1 billion mbps, you are still ONLY ever going to get as much as who you are downloading from is pumping out in their Upload to you. Basically, you can download 1000 mbps but most services are NOT going to upload that much to you on any consistent basis.
Did you have a harddrive?
I have 300 fiber and it's good enough for France I had 10 only for 15 years in DSL
im no computer genius or anything but im pretty sure you are limited by the read and write speeds of the consoles hard drive or ssd so it wont matter if you have a million mbps internet if it cant be transferred from the internet to your storage device at the same speed.
I have found out on my ps4 if you put it in rest mode where it is still downloading, it uses basically all the speed to download, my updates would say 150ish mbps and would take 5 or 6 hours, I put it in rest mode for 30 mins and it's downloaded and ready to install.
Be grateful you get 1000 up as well
I feel like my One S downloads games too slow
And I’m supposed to get 1GBPS internet
How much did it cost when you bought and what store you got it from
alex god memes what? My Xbox or my high speed internet?
Xbox
@@cheetoos923 bruh its $300 its an xbox LMAO
A cable gets you a faster connection but changing your xbox's dns server could also give it a slight boost
Or fiber internet get you faster
Gig upload?! What's your isp?
Forgetting the fact its also installing at the same time, lots of little files takes longer to download than the equal size in one file! due to how TCP works
Thank you
What cat ethernet cord are you using?
We have ran into server issues with GTA5. went to gig speed to hopefully remedy it
KEK
what is the best internet for gaming and downloads on pc ?
GoogleFiber XP & Pro are insanely fast but thats only within the perimeter of GooglePlex an its surrounding areas.
The average download speed is around 100Mbps (even if you have 200+ download speed) this must be because of the servers.
I have gigabit internet and my Xbox throttles at around 100mbps , how can I improve this I’ve tried everything?
Game consoles in general just don’t download games fast, they have trouble with that for a variety of reasons.
Is the issue the non SSD, it has to write the data to the disk drive.
Other commentors are correct, unfortunately Xbox servers don't seem to support downloads even close to gigabit speeds.
Hopefully Microsoft will improve this soon, gigabit and half gigabit speeds are now available in plenty of areas at a reasonable price (we've got it in our rural town for only £35pm).
And with the insane size of game download nowadays >100GB being able to actually use that speed would be incredibly useful.
That doesn't mean there aren't still advantages to gigabit.
1. Other services can reach higher speeds, not useful for Xbox but significantly improves your pc experience.
2. Multiple people can use the internet at once, download multiple large files and stream in 4k all at the same time without running out of bandwidth, living in a family home with several connected devices, the fact you never have to worry about someone "hogging up" the internet is huge.
Yes you won't always be making the most of a gigabit connection and perhaps a 300Mbps or 500Mbps service is better for most people for now. But that being said when multiple large files are being downloaded on your network or you use a server capable of reaching high speed you'll probably wish you had the gigabit so bandwidth is never an issue.
I think it's the the game or Xbox servers I mean why they do this I get about 500/500 wired and wifi when it comes to downloading games 😒it goes all over the place I never get 500 it's either 100 or 50 or 250 🤦♂️
Great video btw👌💪👏
I just want to notify you, the series x does not fix this issue!!! I’m paying for a gigabit and I’m getting 450 mbs tops. Gigabit is not worth it, invest your money elsewhere.
Bro just putting it out there I need to download my games overnight to be able to play them the next day jaja
Same
I remember I used to connect my Xbox 360 to my mobile Hotspot and it took like 2 days to download GTAV with all dlcs 😅
@@yanow8318 bruh I had to do that everyday to play fortnight back in its prime. I had the ps4 safe mode loop so I literally had to redownload fortnight on a hotspot everyday just to play. Talk about the struggle lol
The worst 😂😂😂 a day and a half
You should mess around with your DNS servers because i could pull 135 mbps once I changed it to could fair for 50 mbps
This whole video is a flex
It's actually mbps ÷ 8 = actual download speed
You probably have a hardware issue going to the Xbox. If you live in a house that's 10+ years old, chances are the cables in the walls aren't able to handle gigabit speeds. Try upgrading to cat6 cables or make sure that you are using gigabit switches! Cheers
That's crazy I'm only paying for att fiber 300 mbps up and down 9 mounts after this video and I get over 300 while downloading average 270 to 280.
2-3 hours is normal to me. Always just do it overnight.
This is actually a known issue that’s been plaguing XONE’s since day 1. It’s not your internet, it’s something to do with the way Microsoft designed the Xbox.
Do the PS4 Pro edition next
I just wanna know how because I get 800mps on my phone, 700 on my computer and only 400mps on my Xbox one X.
Pay for gigabit Internet just so you can be bottlenecked by all of the Internet.
This is not true at all
The best part about gigabit is that Fiber lines are very reliable. Been using it for a week so far and not even one episode of lag or freeze from my connection. And my ping is only 3MS to nearby servers.
btw I think you need an ssd to write as fast as you want. I mean 200mb/s for a hdd is pretty good
Well so it's 200Mbps that I'm downloading. 200Mbps wouldn't be good for a HDD writing. Now 200MBps would be good for writing (8bits in a Byte). I should be getting 100MBps write speeds from the HDD which would equate to 800Mbps
@@jrob0021 My bad, I got it wrong. I rly don't get why you get that speed wired. I can get up to 400MBps on phone using 5ghz wifi.

I actually get 936 down and 42 up. I am also connecting directly to the modem using a ARRIS SBG8300 modem router combo. Whats is the weird is I have had Comcast service for 12 years now and in every internet plan package I have had from them I have always gotten more then I was packaged plan i was paying for. check out the following....
25mb plan I was getting 35-40
75mb plan I was getting 85-90
250mb plan I was getting 300
600mb plan i was getting 730mb
but in 1gig plan I can even burst above 936. Its like I'm being throttled.
Two more weird things the cost difference of the 75 to 250 was an extra 5 a month and the cost difference of the 600 to 1 gig was an extra 10 a month. Does that even make sense?
And i tought a 100mbit was enough. Although i only pay for 100, the xbox usually shows 200 so i think its a good deal
Xboxs are based on Microsoft servers, download speeds are not just based on your internet but also with the servers.
Since we are all in lockdown, more people are playing or using the servers to download games from the other side of the Earth which means the servers need to upload faster and cause a bottleneck with other people.
Bro. It is up to 1000mbps, also depends in the servers you are downloading from
hi i just subscribed
Welcome!
i'm getting 950 down and 500 up in France
Yes but you'll never see that on downloads on a old console Xbox series X should provide you with faster speeds
I have 350mbps package with virgin and xbox downloads at the same speed as in this video so I'm contemplating whether it is even worth upgrading 😂
Same here trying to update cod cold war mine will go from 3mbps up to 230mbps with dramatic shifts. It has to be on Microsofts end. I have xbox one s.

Tried using an asus router & modem? Of course the stock one's are going to screw you over. Also makes sure the cable is rated for gig+ soeeds
Reason why it would be capped at 100MB/ps because of your hard drive speed
