700MB per second in the download?

mi
- in Xbox
4

Hello Good question Community. This already concerns me days, the following incident. It was last week Saturday 3 clock at night, because I bought on my Xbox One Call of Duty 4 and wanted to download it now. Well I admit it, I do not have the fastest line 8MB upload and 24MB download per second. The Xbox also has that displayed 24 Mbits per second. I also do not know why I watched the download for 4 minutes but now it comes, suddenly there was 700Mbits download per second for about 10 seconds. In the time I downloaded from 80 GB download size already around the 6Gb. Of course I was fascinated by what I saw there. Well, I've told all my buddies about it, they do not know what it was in time. They said only that they want to switch to Telekom. My question is, why did the download go so fast? Although I normally have 20 MB in download?

That sounds more to me than reading data that was already on the record. 700 Mbps is about the maximum read / write speed of a relatively lame HDD. This happens z.b. If you continue a previously aborted update process.

Achso thank you very simple explanation

When I install a game on the Xbox I also have a multiple of the actual download speed. I think the Xbox first downloads data, writes them to the HDD, etc.

Mion, dear questioner.

A quick glance at your description confirms that you do not seem to be familiar with IT measurement units.
The way you write these, you throw them over the top - and your confusion could be reduced to that as well.
