Depending on whether you have a 100mbps+ connection or not.

OS version: 10.0.14393.2152 (rs1_xbox_rel_1610 161208-1218) fre
Release date: 12/14/2016
Performance and general improvements
Download performance
We’ve made several optimizations to game and app downloads on Xbox One:
Customers with high-speed connections (greater than 100Mbps) should experience up to 80% faster download speeds.
Customers with connections less than 100Mbps should experience more consistent performance that is up to 40% faster than before.
Additional optimizations have also made background downloads more resilient to intermittent connectivity issues.
Download speeds will be influenced by network contention within the home and at the ISP level. Download speeds will also be impacted when games are running on the console as system resources are prioritized for gameplay over background downloads. For more information, visit Troubleshoot slow game or app downloads on Xbox One.

Just a nice tidbit, commence discussion about how we all miss just putting in the disc and playing the game

EDIT EDIT: Run a benchmark and find the best DNS address for you, don't just slap Google on it. Treat your router with care. Take care of the router and it'll take care of you. Don't think of it as just another router. Treat it with love...don't be rough.

Jumpman23 · Dec 14, 2016

I welcome this increase in download speed.

Toki767 · Dec 14, 2016

Still seems slow to me.

Finale Fireworker · Dec 14, 2016

I don't miss putting the disc in and playing, so this is good news. I hope other machines with notoriously terrible download speeds (they know who they are...) follow suit.

Microsoft really stepped it up with the people-pleasing and I give them a lot of props for that. Even if this is largely technical, it vastly improves ease of use.

Card Boy · Dec 14, 2016

Even before this update it is was still faster than the PSN, this isn't a driveby shitpost but a cold hard fact. Took me 4 days straight to download just COD: MWR and just afew hours to download something the same size over XB. Thats just one example out of my many bad experiences.

Equanimity · Dec 14, 2016

Downloads are still slow on my end. However, dash navigation has improved significantly since the last update.

PSN has been faster this gen, for me at least.

shawnoftheshred · Dec 14, 2016

Good news - I'd noticed over the last couple of weeks in particular starting a download and coming back later to find it stopped at 70-80% for some reason. Happy to see upgrades here.

LukasTaves · Dec 14, 2016

Cool, but it already maxed my connection (50mb) before so I won't be seeing any improvements,

BFIB · Dec 14, 2016

Thanks for opening up the fast lane Microsoft!

styl3s · Dec 14, 2016

I thought my downloads were faster than usual today i downloaded the Snow Mountain expansion in about 3 minutes which is how long 3-4GB would take me on Steam.

Not that Xbox One has ever been slow for me i have always gotten like 70% of my speeds wirelessly.

wwm0nkey · Dec 14, 2016

I got 1gigabit internet, guess I'll test this tonight!

I know on PSV and PS3 they are awful, and it was night and day when I got an XBOS... Don't have anything to download to try right now, but my 150mbps connection is happy to hear about this for the future.

Barkley's Justice · Dec 14, 2016

Mine always starts off REALLY FAST and then takes a shit when it reaches ~75%...Wonder if this will help?

Zedox · Dec 14, 2016

Looking forward to trying this out today WITH MY FREE LOST ODYSSEY! Xbox kilin it.

Change DNS settings to what exactly by the way?

Use namebench to find out, but Google DNS (8.8.4.4 -- 8.8.8.8) is mostly good. There's also the CISCO one but I can't remember the address.

SOR5 · Dec 14, 2016

WaffleTaco said:

Go to Network.
Go to Advanced Settings.
Go to DNS settings.
Select Manual.
For example if I wanted to use Google
Enter Primary DNS 8.8.8.8 and press enter.
Enter Secondary IP 8.8.4.4 and press enter.

But I find its best to change the DNS your router uses

spleenpoker said:

Run the GRC DNS benchmark on your computer, but the big two popular ones are Google and OpenDNS

Bustanen · Dec 14, 2016

Installing now. Was getting a measly 40Mbps when downloading Lost Odyssey.

Many thanks everyone, will give that a try later!

Shullbit. I'm downloading Lost Odyssey and FH3 Blizzard Mountain at 128 ko/s instead of 12,Mo/s. Sooo... bullshit.

EDIT :
Oops, there's a system update (but the console didn't checked it, silly thing). Downloading now. Wait and see.
