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.

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

Mines is plugged in to the router and when test it says its in the 50 mbs what doesn't seem right for how long for it to download. Will reboot the Internet tomorrow see if that helps

@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.
