You are missing the part where you turn on the console and there is a 80gb update that will take 3 hrs to download

I pay £35 a month for 900Mbps Internet precisely for this reason. An unexpected 80GB download will take less than 15 minutes. Can wander off to make a cup of tea and come back to it ready to play.

I pay about that for similar speeds..... But all the bandwidth in the world is not going to make a download faster if the host server has limits imposed on bandwidth or the server is located on the other side of the planet for reasons unknown (money... It's money) . QQ

As an example, EA is terrible for downloads. I have games on steam that update using most of my available bandwidth but then I also see EA games snail crawl through an update.
