Im downloading a game on my Xbox. But when I do anything like downloading. Anything else that requires the internet, goes super slow. I cant stream on netflix, due to me downloading. So I have to stop the download of my game, If I want to watch netflix. Internet browsing isnt the best, when downloading also.
Soon as I stop the download everything else works perfectly. Surely this should not be an issue, considering Im on Fibre.
I did a speed test and I got this:
Download Speed (Mbps): 32.71
Upload Speed (Mbps) : 6.99
Ping Latency (ms): 34

It depends on how much you're downloading and the remote source data rate. There is no QoS control on Plusnet hubs and you can only have your bandwidth once.
You don't say which hub you are using, if it's the old BT modem plus Hub Zero combination then buffer bloat could also become an issue.
