- 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.

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

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
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
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
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
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.
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.
@@bossman762x39 Whats false?
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.
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
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 :((
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
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.
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
Me having 900kbps-10mbps
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.
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.
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 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.
The most I can get is 20kbps on my Xbox and I’m running this video on 144p
Is your speed still this bad?
@@steelsilence19 yep
Mine is horrible i only get 88 mbps download and 14mbps upload with gigabit internet even before modem swap with the 100mb service i had better uploads for the service....my xbox network speeds are nowhere near this videos....eastern canada here
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.
When them Xbox gamers be like “my Xbox needs more than gigabit internet to download cod” When it’s the Xbox servers that suck 😂
Yes like it doesn't take 3 years to download any game on playstation. Haha
Yea I've downloaded every update in 30 mins on my xbox one x. My ps4 took 2½ hours... More than once
U do know The Xbox servers dont matter for your internet right
@@tekurooka5656 Yes they do. Xbox servers are what determines the speed in which you can download content; assuming you have gigabit internet or anything 300Mbps+.
Yeah people live to blame the isp first. And chew out the techs when they tell them is their computer and servers
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
So if anyone is wondering what’s going on here in the video, basically you’re downloading the game from Microsoft’s servers. When you have 300,000 people trying to download COD or any game for that matter at the same time, that would be stressing out the Microsoft servers and that’s why the MBPS would be much lower that what your bandwidth actually is. So long story short, it’s not your internet/ internet provider, it’s the Microsoft servers. So let me ask you this, if you had 300,000 people trying to pull information from your brain at the same time, do you think your responses would be as quick as if only one person was pulling info from your brain?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Gigabyte and gigabit are different measurements. Gigabyte is in the power of 2. Gigabit is in units of 1000
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!
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.
Throw that Xbox on the DMZ and cut it lose. The speeds you are getting are better than most customers I’ve seen on their Xbox’s. Google Fiber employee of 6 years. Oh, and the download speeds are going to be limited by the source you are downloading from. They can’t let 1 person suck up all the bandwidth, it will usually be capped to allow for a huge number of users to download at same time
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
you have (gigabit) a gigabit is 1/8 of a gigabyte so that is the speed you should be getting 1/8 of a gigabyte is about 120 megabytes per second
Bro. It is up to 1000mbps, also depends in the servers you are downloading from
you guys need to understand that it the server from the studio, activision has a hamster wheel downloading your game. lol
Console limits...🤔
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.
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
I wish we had internet like that in my country :(
which country?
All countries should have that Internet.
@@MGrey-qb5xz not true not every country is first world
The harddrive write speeds cant go that fast. Ssds will download faster.
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
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
Can you start making more Foreign Disc Videos Again bc I love these videos
me trying to download gta 5 .. took me 2 days and half
xD
took me 4 months
Took me 8 hours
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
When it comes to downloading games on console the servers will be the one limiting the speeds
It's actually mbps ÷ 8 = actual download speed
It's the HDD limiting the download speed, not the server. When you get the new console with SSD you will be able to get full speed or almost.
Really that's dope im pre ordering the series x and we are switching routers to the one gig speed that great because re installing all my games will be a breeze
a normal Hard drive will do 150MBps this is doing close to 200Mbps which is around 25MBps so that's wrong sir
I have 300 fiber and it's good enough for France I had 10 only for 15 years in DSL
Try the PS4 or PS5 when it comes out
Someone Person lol ikr he’s a Xbox fan boy
[4x]irish_25_ttv then if he went on ps he’d be classed as a ps fanboy
The slow download speeds are not on your end but on the video games servers end
The limit is because Microsoft also has a internet connection with a max speed of xxxx and everyone shares it.
I have AT&T fiber and it’s a game changer for my ps5 and Xbox series x
Well i had 20mbps for a few months now, Play Nhl 21 hut alot an lag all the time. Done with that, now i pay 170$ a month for 1gb speed. 901 mbps. Worth it
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.
Ik this video a year old but hope u understand that console like the Xbox one your capped cuz off the hdd storage of writing and reading download speed it has, new gen console like the ps5 ur able to swap out storage for better performance
The reason is the sever. Second is the wifi chips on the old consoles suck. The new consoles will have new wifi 6 chips
This is why people should do research before they invest in a service. 1. The Xbox doesn’t support anywhere near the write speed you’re asking it to do compared to the download you’re pulling because it’s using a HDD and not an SSD. 2. Xbox servers cap how quickly you’re allowed to request information from a sever at any given time to moderate traffic across the network. The average write speed of a hard drive is 80 to 180 MB per second. The average for an SSD is anywhere between 100 and 600 MB per second. So you’re never going to see an Xbox downloading at faster than maybe a little over 200 consistently because it can’t write that fast.
Devin NL hey bro u seem real knowledgeable about internet and speed can i dm u or somethin to ask some wuestiosn
@@consciousmuzik My download speed using ssd
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
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
Your isp is one side of the Spectrum the servers and everything else is another story they probably put a cap on download speed too
Game consoles in general just don’t download games fast, they have trouble with that for a variety of reasons.
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
What router are you using?
I’m wondering that too
GoogleFiber XP & Pro are insanely fast but thats only within the perimeter of GooglePlex an its surrounding areas.
Man had no idea about how writing speeds work
Dude, this has nothing to do with the Xbox but rather the service in the cloud limits the download speed regardless of how fast your internet is. The next Xbox wont make a difference since the source is doing the limiting.
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.

@@jrob0021 Yeah, I've seen the speed test. The issue is with xbox for sure their servers are werid. Do you have a ps4 to try it out on too ? That would be interesting to see how it downloads there.
@@zer0366 I have a ps4, but haven't tried it yet
The average download speed is around 100Mbps (even if you have 200+ download speed) this must be because of the servers.
You do know that when you test it is in megabits but when you're downloading it is in megabytes so when you see a hundred that's 800 / 8.
Also when it test the download speeds it's not actually running to the hard drive I believe. It is just a regular hard drive inside of the Xbox One x it is not an SSD so that may be the maximum right capacity of the controller inside of the Xbox for the hard drive. I had the regular hard drive inside my Xbox One x and Xbox One s I changed both of them out to ssds to terabytes. The download speeds did not change much and I have them connected to a Wi-Fi 6 router through an ethernet cable so not a bad router or modem. It has to be the xbox's hard drive controller.
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.
I have the fiber in France but I dont know why I only have around 35/45 mb/s and no 1000mb/s
I got above 800 mbps on Xbox series x they finally updated it
Xbox just need to update that part on Xbox is not just Xbox one x the s and the original has the same issue even on the PS4 is the same way
Here and there mine will download games at 260-290mbps but it's here and there, not always. That's with 300mbps net
listen im just happy with my 50Mbps lol
Reason why it would be capped at 100MB/ps because of your hard drive 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.
It’s going slow either way because your Xbox has a physical hard drive since the read and write speeds would be going very slow rather than downloading it on an ssd
This whole video is a flex
"hardwire" is an ethernet cable.
Do the PlayStation foreign disc again there is some thing new I want you to see
I just wanna know how because I get 800mps on my phone, 700 on my computer and only 400mps on my Xbox one X.
Be grateful you get 1000 up as well
You should mess around with your DNS servers because i could pull 135 mbps once I changed it to could fair for 50 mbps
2-3 hours is normal to me. Always just do it overnight.
oh wow... thats pretty disappointing honestly.. they should be update data transfer equipments or requirements.
hate to be that guy... but your terminology is completely wrong. 'giga-BIT' is only 1/8th the size of a 'giga-BYTE'...As a bit, in general, is 1/8th the size of a byte. a commonly misused term, but is very incorrect. I see this over and over and over.
The xbox one Download capability is terrible the series s and x give you close to actual download speeds
the problem is the Download Bandwidth from the game servers
I run off a hotspot that is 3gb hi-speed a month after that it runs 100-250kbps i can't run most games on that do I normally play minecraft cause that works
Also- i have around 800 latency and 75% packet loss
Not super techie but I know pc motherboards have 10-100-1000 Ethernet cards and capabilities. I would think that consoles don’t have the same capabilities as pc.
