Xbox One X upload issues
Hello,
I have posted on the Xbox forums about this but I still cannot resolve this issue and wondering if anyone has advice.
All of a sudden over the past few days my upload speed JUST on my ...
One thing to keep in mind is the Xbox speedtest is a little unreliable, so the Xbox might be fine.
Also, for what it's worth, you only need about 1mps to play games, so the lower speeds you're seeing on the test shouldn't impact your gaming.
Well after some research I found out that the issue is with COX ISP. They recently started blocking a port that Xbox requires for fast upload. This has been affecting NUMEROUS people with COX. I physically took my Xbox to a friend's house who has Century Link and immediately got 300+ upload on the xbox speed test. Let's just say if COX doesn't fix this ASAP then im gone. I stream my gameplay on Mixer/Twitch so 1.9 upload is not going to cut it.
- Fantastic you found the cause, thanks for the update. What was the port they've blocked?
Xbox requires 7 ports to be open. Cox has closed off port #80 which is one of 7 required for xbox live to run at 100%. It’s closed for residential but can be open for businesses. I've also been told it's a result of net neutrality nonsense.
- That closed 80?! That is the general internet port used for websites etc and general internet activities, that's ludicrous.
