Kick A**!

Atmospherics' right now, the best of all my sims installed, and yeah...with all features running, and at no 'morphing, lag, or updating on the screen' with my new download speed of 945 Mbits per second....just most impressive and outstanding flight simming...   I can fly over New York, at 1,200 feet, and no more half-formed nuclear looking Photo at 120 knots.  I see now, that it is the user's download speed, and not the ability of the M.S. server to 'dish it up, per high speed knots, real time. It is your ISP download speed that will dictate if there is any update/lag, not fully rendered Photo seen.  I had some of that at even 360 Mb's per second.  Absolutely  NONE now at just under a Gb' per second download ISP pipeline.  Is a 1 GB service overkill as far as MSFS is concerned. NOT ON YOUR LIFE!   Nope...

Highly recommended if you have access to that speed!

About 400mbps here and never have had corrupt photogrammetry.  What I do notice sometimes is for some flights, despite ample CPU/GPU/VRAM headroom, I can get the rare ligtht short stutter during taxi (1-3x sometimes of late).   Yesterday flying into KLAX I had some frame rate drop w/ stuttering and always wonder where that comes from because as I say it does not appear to be lack of processing power.  Today, flying at early down out of KLAS which of course is heavy w/ nightlighting it was absolutely liquid smooth all the way up, not a single niggle of a stutter.  I'm hoping they continue to fine tune performance but really it's already *almost* perfect everywhere no matter how complex and detailed.

That‘s interesting. I have 400mbps and I do have blurry imagery occasionally. I might give 1GB a try then.

I have 750/500 and it rarely gives me any blurries. Except in the distance, but that's MSFS. 

As long as you have 250 or more, I would think the servers are the choke point?

I guess part could be, at least w/ cable internet, there are more folks on the node and this might lower effective bandwidth?  Does anyone really know what bandwidth is always sufficient?  I would think 250 is huge for the amount of data coming thru the line, but that's just a hunch.  Hopefully Sesh can continue to post how things are over the next week or so to see if the improvement sticks.

I would not bet on that.. as stated above, I also suspect the MS servers are actually the problem when scenery gets distorted..

Some days it is really good, other days not so much..

Seems so.  This morning, 787-10 out of KLAS at pre-dawn w/ all of that night lighting--nary a hitch anywhere total smoothness.  Sometimes it is not quite that good!
