Discussion topic: 500meg BB but XBOX X only at 150?

This message was authored by: Quagmire101 · ‎04 Jun 2024

Hi all.

Upgraded my fibre to 500meg with sky (was 150 previously)

But the xbox X is only showing 160meg max. My phone shows 420meg.

Ive googled it and it says that the router may need updating or beinging told to prioritise the xbox?

Either way, i got it for the 3 Xboxs we have in te house, and it seems pointless if it wont even get half way.

Any ideas? thanks!

No Sky Hub has QoS to prioritise traffic like that. Hubs don't update based on bandwidth.

The point of 500Mbs would be to provide three devices with 100Mbs each while also permitting other household use.

Looking through Google and Reddit, 150-200mbps seems to be about the fastest you'll get on Xbox X over WiFi. You'll get faster over ethernet
