Download speeds are glacial for me at the moment.

I'm doing about 150Mbits/s right now.
I guess it is capped at 150

On a 60/60 Mbps fiber connection (on my country house, out of the city) got download speeds between 4 and 35 Mbps, more or less the same annoying thing that already happened during the last two world/sim updates.

Well I was dancing between 1-2Mbps for a while - I'm now up to a massive 3Mbps! Just a warning to others that there may be server issues similar to the last SU.

Have they fixed London so it looks like London? Or does it look like some London that has fallen victim to a Bond villain and his death-ray?

London is not on the planned list of cities being updated in this City Update 5 (which are Zagreb, Košice, Cádiz, Brussels, and The Hague). I'm guessing just like they fixed up Canadian and other countries/cities photogrammetry alongside WU15 any London fixes will come (if at all) along with a future WU.

My 650MB update was 328MB, and it downloaded smoothly at between 40-50 Mbps. My only question is......why does it always switch back to Windowed mode from Full Screen after these updates are installed?

The city updates are currently downloading at a pathetic 2 Mbps.

Yes, I want to slap its digital derriere every time it does this.

The initial update was quick but the content manager WU updates are downloading painfully slow on my end...

Same here. They just can't get this right, can they?

It's like having a friend stop by; someone you haven't seen in a few months. I got use to it 3 years ago and it hasn't disappointed me since.

The Cessna 207 took me about 35 minutes to download, and my internet speed was between 30-40 Mbs when I tested it. 

I also got constant disconnection messages in the sim that put it into potato mode.  I really lose confidence with them at times like this.  Still, any chance of another technical report to say why it is happening?  :unsure:

They’ll probably send another similar conclusion including a similar graph in the following days 🤣

I wonder if this update cures the stutter problem I have had after SU14.... 🙏
