I have a 300 mb/s internet connection but 30 mb/s is my average download rate in the MSFS store. How’s yours? I‘m located in Germany by the way.

I have 80mbs connection, store items and sim updates download at 5 or 6 mbs, however if i use VPN i download at close to my bandwidth limit, its very strange

I have a 500mbps download connection, but reinstalling msfs on another disk takes literally days, download speed from 0.5 to 8 mbps. Moreover it kills the general download speed of my connection. Testing with speeddisk gives the same very slow downloads. Not onliy during the fs download but also after ik stop downloading, stop the sym and do another speeddisk test. Rebooting the system gives the right speed again. That is, until I start the sym. The snailspeed allover. It looks like starting an msfs download switches a knob in the system to pre historic speedsettings.
I wonder if there is a fs setting that controls the downloadspeed, Since I cannot get into any fs settings page until the installation/download is complete I down’t know a way to check that and possibly correct that.
Thanks fo reading
I have 500mb internet connection. Download speed is usually around 90-120mb. Today morning updates downloaded with almost 350mb which was really surprising.
I’m in Canada on 1 Gbps fiber optic, and did a new install of MSFS on Xbox this week.
The main installer Base Game, and World Offline Mode, together are +120 GB, they downloaded for me at about 500 Mbps, less than an hour.
But the World updates, downloaded inside MSFS Content Manager, average download at about 10 Mbps and it takes me about 2 days (I only download 1 at a time because if I don’t, thereis always an error of ‘xxx file failed to install’.)
I think it’s apparent that the main game file is on a fast server, while the World Updates are not.

Are you sure about units? With a 300mb/s connection, 30 megabytes per second would be good speed
The units are often misquoted (unless your connection really is 300 millibits) so it’s hard to be sure what the numbers mean.
On my gaming/simming machine my downlink maxes out at 400 Mbps, with MSFS downloads varying wildly, anywhere from 100 to 350 Mbps.
I’m in Portland, Oregon on Comcast cable, which apparently has a pretty good connection to Microsoft’s servers – the fact that people elsewhere having speed problems have reported significantly better speeds when on a VPN makes me real suspicious that network issues are behind the poor speeds some people see – this is something probably Microsoft runs, like an Azure content caching service.
Well, I never get more than 40 to 50 Mbps. And in the last couple of days the servers tell me that I´m disconnected because of low bandwidth. The sim then reconnects after a short period of time, but it´s annoying anyway. Now the bottleneck isn´t the hardware you own, but the connection to the servers. If the connection isn´t perfect, I see stutters in VR.
It looks like there´s some sort of server problem in Europe or Germany. Maybe Microsoft will have to add some resources here.
