Your post is lacking basically all relevant information: What do you mean "slow running"? What specs does your computer have? For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

If by 'slow' you mean downloading textures while you fly, this quite normal - depends on the MS/asobo servers.

February 22, 20242 yr The speed of your internet connection doesn't make the sim run any faster, contrary to a lot of people's beliefs. I used to run it on a 1gb connection. I have since moved house and now hampered with a 70mb connection at best and notice absolutely no difference at all. There are many other factors which far greatly affect how fast the sim runs than your download speed alone.

February 22, 20242 yr Author I forgot to say that I have 1G internet connection, with 3 devices being fed...I am only receiving 333 mbps on my desktop...is that normal for ATT?.. I should also say that my sim is slow to load (many add-on planes and accessories)...after that, the sim runs fine...hope this helps..

Slow initial loading will be for the reason you state - you have many add on planes/DLC installed. Typically with MSFS the more content you have installed in your Community folder, the longer the initial load takes. I can't answer for whether you only seeing 333mb on a 1gb connection is normal for your ISP, but what I will say is that ISPs cover themselves with the "up to" 1gb so that isn't a guarantee all of the time. 333mb is still absolutely ample for most people's usage though, including using MSFS.
