Hi,

 

I've just upgraded to Vodafone's FibreX Max connection and I'm seeing speeds of 800-900 Mbps Down, 80-90 Mbps Up on a PC connected via Ethernet. With the Xbox One also connected via Ethernet, I'm seeing dramatically slower speeds. From a max of 150 Mbps down, 5 Mbps Up to as low as 25 Mbps Down, 2.5 Mbps Up? I contacted Xbox support, they suggested that possibly Vodafone has port restrictions in place on the router limiting the speeds. He indicated that Xbox puts no limits on download or upload speeds. I then contacted VF and they advised no such port restrictions are in place. Basically, they pointed fingers at each other saying it was the other parties issue. I'm wondering if there are some settings in the Huwaei HG659 that require adjusting to optimize speeds on the Xbox? The VF tech just directed me to a Port Forwarding website which was no help.

 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

 

Cheers,

 

Config:

 

Cable modem - TC4400 connected to Huwaei HG659, then PC and Xbox connected to routers WLAN ports. Other devices connected wirelessly.

Simply put, its a nullissue. Locally you will likely have a better experience - Depending on DLM profile you had on VDSL, your latency could be higher or lower though.

 

 

 

Faster conections man benifit is, you can multitask without issues of bandwidth congestion.

 

As to the preformance of the connection itself, YMMV but over here is a large discussion about it http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=40&topicid=204855

 

Some good stuff, some bad stuff. Vodafone appear to be in the process of resolving the bad stuff so i wouldnt worry too much about it. Could be worth a read though?
