Iām now 10GB /12Gb and have been sat at 20MBPS steady for 20+ minutes) ever since POI 007 part completed. There was something strange going on with the POI download causing slowdowns. Perhaps a clue. Who knows. Looks like this will complete soon.
EDIT: Download now complete. 2hrs 40min
1st 6GB (POIs) with all the start/stops/parts : 1hr 50min
2nd 6GB (airports and bushtrips) all at better and very steady speed : 50min

Online services on Xbox (marketplace, bing etc..)appear to be completely out for me at the moment despite all data options being turned on. Tried restarting the sim multiple times and nothing. Anyone else having the same issue?

The problem most people here complain about is not related to WU16 or earlier updates, but pertains to ALL downloads in MSFS content manager. So if your monitoring shows ābusiness as usualā, then that still means many people are getting abysmal download speeds on a daily basis.
But if you prefer, I could go on and file a separate bug report about every single file I try to download from MS servers.
Thatās on 750Mbit internet connection.

Iām currently at work and will get home at about 0100 (thatās how tough I am 
).
I constantly get these fluctuating downloads speeds whether itās something from the content manager, marketplace or whether itās a WU or SU.
I think it rather disingenuous that a member of the FS team post that itās related to earlier SU/WU. People have been complaining about it for so long and at all times that surely the team do not think itās SU/WI related.
Yesterday I downloaded a new purchase (PMDG B737-600); my first foray into study level - and I love it. But downloading that on my 900Mb connection was painful.
With this new update Iāll probably boot up the PC when I get home, initiate the download then go to be whilst it downloads.

Hello,
Same for me, 1Gbit/s fiber line, and my downloads are fluctuating between 2-3Mbit/s and sometimes 200Mbit/s ( but the 300 part stays for few seconds, then it fall back to single digit ).

Frustrating!
Every (!!!) download in the marketplace runs only with 2 to 3 MBit.
And there is a repeating pattern, that short before the download of a single part (file) of a package is completed, the download speed jumps to 100MBit (in my case)
if the next package starts it is falling down to under 3 Mbit again.
This has nothing to do with special SUs or WUs, it is with everyting!

Same issues here in the Netherlands.
Any download from the content manager (not just WU16) may momentarily spike to 200+MBit/s but then quickly settle back down to 2 and 3 MBit/s.
On speedtest.net or any other service (like Steam) I consistently get a download speed of 200+MBit/s (limited by Wifi 6).

Nothing new. Download still caps at 5Mbps in the content manager, when downloading world updated or even ATR or DC3.
Whereas in speed test, Iām having a solid 1Gpbs

Yesā¦ 2 - 3 Mbit/s here as well. Thatās really annoying. Is it because of throttling? Are these slow servers?
The same drama here (Germany) with a 100mBit line
Under these conditions, this was my last WU with MSFS2020
And MSFS2024, I no longer believe in installing this sim

I was getting 0mbits on launch day, for 5mins+. Restarted it with a US VPN, briefly got about 20mbits, then went down to 0 again. Gave up, trying again right now:
0mbits again for the first couple of minutes, then 2-3, then briefly up to 30 or so, now itās at 0 againā¦ guess Iāll leave it running for a few hours (big waste of electricity).
This is on a 500mbit line. Seems like the download issue is getting worse with every update.
EDIT: Itās been at 0mbits for the whole time again now. This is literally the worst one everā¦ how can it just stay at 0 yet say ādownloadingā?
Wish I could get a constant 3mbits like you guys =(
This is in Germany BTW.

WU 16 is trying to download at awfully slow speed, 1-2 Mbits/s. Thank you again MS :(.
Same here! Very slow download on a 400Mbps line.
Stop organizing the problem by only looking into measurements and start solving the root causes of the problem!
Iām here to report that no matter what Im downloading in the sim whether itās WU16 or any other WU (I deleted some for testing purposes) my download speed on 600 Mbps Internet link is barely above 2Mbps. It sometimes speeds up at the end of downloading a package, but when new package arrives, the download speed drops again.
This issue started a couple of months ago (something was broken) and I can see no improvement altogether. Each WU or SU requires several hours.
Please treat our reports seriously, we are not inventing problems.
When downloading games from Steam I usually reach 200 Mbps or more, 100x faster when compared with MSFS downloads.
There might be two reasons why less users reported issues this time:
- SUs are mandatory, WU is optional, not everybody interested in Caribbean, especially with malfunctioning water masks,
- forums are malfunctioning, so only die-hardās attempt to post anything these days.
