Download speed doesn't seem right

Hi there trying to update a game and it's only 30 g but said it taking 3 hours to download. What I think means the speed isn't upto date cause it shouldn't take this long for it.

@Nobother98

That depends on the broadband type (and local WiFi if downloading to a wireless device) : 30GB in three hours is about 22Mbs.

@Nobother98 a lot depends on what else is using your connection while you are downloading your game. If you only have a 50Mb/s connection it doesnt take a lot of other devices to use over half of that especiallly if somebody is streaming video. Scheduling downloads overnight makes a lot of sense when you have restricted bandwidth.
