What happens if you try run via Cloudflare Warp?

I found something very interesting yesterday at work where i have Octohel, if i run via RSAWEB to local server i get ~25 download and upload but if i use cloudflare warp my speed goes almost to the full 50/50...

Warp isn't going to work on his Xbox...

Works on Windows though but doesn't help at all with the slow MS store speeds unfortunately.

I'm convinced you're going to move house before Octotel actually works.

It's just so bizarre how inconsistent it is. I can get excellent speeds with a lot of things but then for some reason one of the largest companies in the world has infrastructure that seems incapable of working correctly. Have had this Xbox speed issue for ages and I have no idea what to do about it. Makes downloading anything on the Xbox a frustration.

My Xbox downloads will literally stall out for periods at a time too, where it shows I'm downloading at literally bits per second.

Where do you get 430Mbps from? My screenshot shows 51Mbits/sec (or 6.3MB/s) on a 1000Mbps line.

Ah read wrong thought you were running at 51 MB/s, yea so you basically running a 50meg download speed, currently getting 6.6MB/s while downloading Apex again on Origin...

Okay, so my consoles will use CI DNS now just to be sure if anything is funny it's not the DNS.

It didn't help jack with the crappy Xbox download speeds but I wasn't expecting it to. I swear it must be downloading from Australia or something it's that bad.

As mentioned if it's akamai based then it will make a difference like with Steam, Microsoft has always typically had hit and miss performance via their CDNs unfortunately. I dont think they actually cache much locally.

You can do it with some Asus (beta software) and Mikrotik routers. You will basically set it up the same way as a VPN.

The only way this will make any difference considering Warp peers with MS locally as well is probably because the XBOX console doesnt have a TCP window scaler. And the VPN might run it through a linux stack which would help alleviate that. What you can try do is setup the XBOX to use our proxy server as well?

Yes, Xbox game and update downloads are slow, I am lucky to even get to 400Mb/s on my 1000Mbps line. It's mostly between 1 - 200Mbps.

I have the same thing with OS 500Mbps and PSN (getting max 100Mbps)
Click to expand...
PSN is pretty solid for me, well at least since I got the PS5. Seems way more consistent on PS5 than it was on PS4, mine now tops out at around 300Mbps normally and is consistent. Would like it to be faster obviously but it's not bad in the scheme of things when it comes to game downloads on console.

@PBCool - For me pings are 18ms and under again on FIFA. What was done?

They seem to be preferring a certain prefix to take an international path, so we've revoked our advertisements in the UK and turned up another session via a local fabric as well with id3

@PBCool the JHB iperf server is still down for me today.

Code: 
> iperf3 -R -u -b 10M -O2 -t 30 -p 17001 -c ter-jhb-iperf-1.cisp.co.za
iperf3: error - the server is busy running a test. try again later
