I'm trying to get back into DCS world. Downloading the 2.7 open beta update from scratch at 1.5MB.  This is on a 1G fiber line and while downloading from ED I did a speed test showing another 900mbps up/down roughly.  Obviously something isn't right and I think it's a very big issue.

I think it really depends on where you are and the time of day. I always get about 62MBps out of my 500Mbps connection. 

I never get that when I update MSFS.

900mbps or 900Mbps, and yess there is a difference.

Gigabit = 125 Gigabytes,

But Gigabit Internet is usually around 920 Megabytes per second in optimal conditions. Ample System Ram to buffer data as it comes in and a SSD Capable of writing data at those speeds.

Fastest Server to consumer Ive seen lately was 745 Megabytes/sec on teamed NICs downloading on steam to an M2 Ultra.

That being said, over wifi i was getting 10 to 15mbps, back on cat5e until the cat8 server is installed, and I get nearly 5x that.

check your DNS, ISPs sometimes control them and they dont always use the most efficient routing.

Don't confuse bit [b] with bytes [B] (which is equal to 8 bits).

https://www.gbmb.org/gbps-to-mbs

1Gbps net (bits per second are usually referenced in net connection speed) is capable of transfer around 125MB/s of data (bytes per second are prefered to express data transfer in local storage).

Ex. I have 20Mbit connection (theoretical), really works as 13Mbit, both DCS and Steam max transfer is 1.5MB/s for me but numerous users show that it is far from ED servers' limits.

I have 400Mbps and routinely download about 50-60MBs, including with ED. Drive makes a big difference. My old platter drive struggled to reach those kind of speeds (ie it didn't ever) but the NVMe I have now actually boosted my download rates around 50% because it CAN handle those speeds consistently.
