Just got an error message for the first time ever: "Your bandwidth is too low for data streaming, you have been switched to offline mode".

Um...500mpbs using LAN and plenty of bandwidth.  This is a first...I've switched servers and reloaded the sim multiple times, but no luck.  Anyone have any ideas?  I've never seen this error before.  It's rendered MSFS completely useless.

You're not the only one. Been happening to me ove the last week or so along with dwindling weather until that vanished completely. I think it fair to say that they have some server issues they need to sort out.

Same here. Just about to start descent. yikes.

Same here. Never seen  this message before. If you look at flightsim forum you will see like 800 replies with the same issues. Reinstalling the sim does not help.  Few people reinstalled the whole windows and that didn’t help. It is clearly the sim issue. 
I have opened a ticket and first thing I was suggested is to remove Google map mod which I don’t have. 
Also: 

1. Use the windows search bar and search for Notepad. Right-click and select Run as Administrator.
2. In Notepad, go to File > Open and then navigate to Windows (C:), Windows, System32, drivers, etc
   and open the host file.
3. Get rid of:
   127.0.0.1 kh.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
   127.0.0.1 khstorelive.azureedge.net

This is from MS support. 

Same here! This Program is so sensitive, challenging to enjoy at times. Thanks for your post skysurfer!!

Try to set your DNS settings to Google DNS.

another option if those above wont help (per support). 

LOL - this happens to some of use all the time.

I have had this problem since the very beginning & it drove me stupid(or more stupid as the case may be) - but after installing theMSFS2020 map enhancer from flightsim.to I have never had the problem since - works for me so worth a try

same here

Same here and it causes a CTD when the error comes up. So frustrating! I wish MS would sort their servers out.

Been happening all the time since the last BETA update for SU12 and WU 12 New Zealand

That is IF it loads the situation at all....

Same here. 

Bandwidth error. 

Have to enable Bing Data World Graphics etc after the bandwidth message.
Nothing wrong with the bandwidth (690 Mbps)
Come on Asobo/Microsoft.
Fix this issue.
Also sometimes a CTD after this stupid message

Yup, I get a lot od CTD lately, dont they check their own software before throwing in our faces like some gift from the gods?

 

But lately, all day today, I cannot spawn the situation and have to use task manager to shut down the hung MSFS

This seemed to work for me... I had 4 duplicates of each of those listed, deleted them all and saved file

HINT   when looking into opening a file inside the subfolder called etc 

set the lower right filetype to all files

 

yep, get this error message every one in a while, just live with it.
