Xbox Live Download Speed Really Slow

An hour ago, I started the download of Bad Company's demo on the Live marketplace (1.2 gigabytes) and it took one hour to download only 9%, yet it used to take one hour for 30-40% download completion.

Why is this happening? Is this happening to anyone else? I started the download after 12-midnight (when everyone is asleep and the internet traffic is low), yet it downloaded very slowly.

Okay, a few things here:

Is your internet connection slow? How many megs down are you getting?

Bad Company is a big download.

I assume you aren't downloading anything in the background. Also, just becuase you're playing at midnight doens't mean that activity on the net in your area will be slow.

Correct me if i'm wrong , but the microsoft servers for xbox live are in Washington correct ? If that is the case then it is understandable why people from the UK have this problem . It has never took me more than 30-40 minutes to download an entire demo off of xbox live , and i have downloaded more than i can remember .

No, I wasn't downloading anything in the background. I let the demo download by itself. No computer was on and no other downloads were active. Four months ago, I downloaded demos as big as 1.2 gigs and it took about two or three hours for the whole thing. Now it takes one hour for 9%. Three hours would be 27%. There's something wrong.

Okay, nevermind. I ran a speed check and found out it's my upload speed. Terrible. I'll have to talk to my ISP about the horrible upload speed of 136 kbps. :)

Cheers
