See, if they all just used Stadia, then there's no big game download

good points
That is an option though, partner with some local restaurants near our
backbone and set up something like a 60ghz link, give the restaurant
some interwebs to allow our customers to update while they gain
revenue from them eating.
I wish that there was a way to gift these cards ahead of time so the
games predownload without the kid knowing. But their hard drive would
fill and theyd be pissed

Xbox downloads tend to be somewhat aggressive anyway. I think
you’ll have the opposite problem, people who can’t do anything
else on their Internet connection while the kids are downloading
games. Something like Preseem that queues short interactive flows
separately from large bulk flows could help.
Given that a lot of games are on the order of 50 GB and some are
up to 150 GB, I doubt you will make anybody happy unless you have
gigabit fiber. They tend not to understand why it is going to take
hours or even days to download a game, other than “your Internet
sucks”. If you speed it up to take 12 hours instead of 24, they
will probably still bitch. I try to explain that the game is the
equivalent of streaming 10 or 20 Netflix movies, how long would
that take?
If you have a ton of bandwidth at your main location and also a
walk-in store, maybe you could set up facilities for people to
bring in their game consoles and download the games quickly.
Probably only works if you are near somewhere to eat or shop while
they wait, it’s still going to take awhile to download 50 GB.

*Subject:* [AFMUG] Xbox updates and downloads
Thinking about christmas eve/day
a ton of kids will be getting digital codes for games, which means
there are going to be a ton of broken hearted kids when they go to
play the game and have to download it. its probably too late t
implement anything at all, but are the downloads, not streaming,
or gameplay, just the game and the required updates, identifiable?
It would be nice to be able to make a queue that gives that
traffic some extra bandwidth.
I dont care about playstation, people who os playstation are weird
