That’s what I see too. I nearly always have the performance tab of task manager open on my 2nd monitor, as I’m always curious to see what is going on behind the scenes. I’ve only once seen the sim download data at ~ 50 Mbps while flying - usually it is periodic at between 10-30 Mbps, so upgrading your bandwidth will, IMO, currently not help in this respect.
If I was in your situation, I’d ask myself:
- How often do I expect to have to re-install the sim over my internet connection?
- How often will I download really large 3rd-party or community add-ons that could potentially benefit from the greater bandwidth & save me time?
- How quickly does the Welcome page appear after starting MSFS? See this post to compare your times with other community members.
- How frequently have I hit my 100 Mbps limit in MSFS, and has that significantly impacted my gaming experience?
- Have Windows updates or updates or new-app downloads from the MS Store every prevented me from doing something else for a significant amount of time, and if so, how frequently?
- Does the new price offered by my internet provider lock me into a contract for a minimum time?
Based on your responses to my questions above, then you need to decide if the potential benefits are worth 15€ /month (180€ p.a.) .
Unless your experience with MSFS is really being impacted because you are seeing the sim consistently maxing out your current 100 Mbps limit, I’d suggest waiting until the internet requirements for 2024 are announced.
