Your post is lacking basically all relevant information: What do you mean "slow running"? What specs does your computer have?

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

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.

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..

333 mbps is fantastic speed from MS servers, you should be glad 😀

VPN should alleviate slow downloads from their servers

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.
