I love these people who think their toys don’t use the Internet while they’re 
sleeping.  Have they not seen “Toy Story” or “Night at the Museum”?  Your toys 
all come alive and use the Internet while you’re sleeping.

And from what I’ve seen, you really really want Xbox updates to happen while 
you’re sleeping.  I don’t know if it’s only via certain CDNs, but I’ve seen 
Xbox updates oversaturate a customer’s link and make it unusable for anything 
else, even simple web browsing and email.

not just system updates, a single game like fallout 4 can be a 25 to 30GB 
download.

  so we installed a customer yesterday. hes complaining its not possible that 
he used 20gb overnight since he was asleep 

  the tech said his xbox one wanted to update and he stopped it, hes saying he 
did update it and it was only a 500mb update

  he had a consistent 12mb download from around 1130pm to 3 am and again from 8 
am to 9am this morning

  I verified wireless and ethernet counters on his SM (bridge mode) and the AP, 
as well as powercode accounting, they all match up

  reading about xbox one, it is defaultly in instant on mode outside the EU, in 
that mode all the games on the system update at night, as best i can tell from 
reading the update time is randomized somewhere give or take some hours around 
2AM redmond time.

  Given the massive size of xbox one updates and his not having had internet 
since he moved here, it seems to me 20gb is not alot, and it would be inline 
during that timeframe that it was xbox games (not the system) updating as it is 
designed

  am i understanding this xbox one updates system correctly?
