Agreed. It’s not the same source. But I’d be ■■■■ surprised to see Asobo not hosting their stuff on MS’s data farms somewhere. MSFS is 100% Azure powered.
Considering that my speeds are always fast wherever I download stuff from with the exception of MSFS updates from Asobo, I’m inclined to think something is up with their CDNs. And many others with top notch connections are experiencing the same, while others have no issues.
A couple of days ago I downloaded the update for Paderborn via the content manager and that was 3GB. It was coming in at a paltry 10-20 Mbits. Took a stupid amount of time. I doubt their servers were being swamped with update.
Same thing when I downloaded the Seminole last week. 10-20 Mbits. Again, not after any major updates.
