And I fear what this means for data being transferred in-game. They are absolutely the worst download times I encounter.

I simply cannot understand why Frontier would allow this to continue. Notably the download speed varies strongly and irregularly in this low band, causing a download of Elite Dangerous to last hours instead of minutes. This has always been an issue which has never improved: when syncing game files to download Elite Dangerous I get download speeds varying between 0.01 megabytes per second and maybe 11 megabytes per second. I've alse created a support ticket, giving more details about what's going on so hopefully the issue can be clarified or even solved and I'll report it here. I've disabled the 'detect settings automatically' for Proxies, but not being near one of those, I'm sure that's not making any difference. I'm suspecting there to be a problem in the way the launcher and the ED servers interact with my specific network during a Sync. Dipping into my client.log I noticed a number of 'DownloadException' reports with either 'Exception starting download: Unable to connect to the remote server' or 'Įxception starting download: The operation has timed out'.
