An unmentioned benefit of the august update?

To put this in context, i live in rural area and as such, have a fairly slow connection of 1 megabit. Now normally when i go to download a few things from the marketplace, after the first download, it gets excruciatingly slow to get to the next download i want since most of my bandwidth is going to my current download. But after getting the preview update i noticed getting around the marketplace takes much less time after the first download. Maybe there has been some kind of optimization to data flow to the console? Anyone else with a slower connection notice such a thing?

i think that since so much data is going to be streaming to your xbox for facebook and netflix and all the new features that they are going to make some changes and help with bandwith issues. It only makes sense that if more water is being used u get a bigger drain so it doesnt pool up... figurativeley speaking of course haha :lol:
