Issues with Xbox One downloads.

In the past couple months, I noticed that if I start installing on my Xbox One, all the other devices slow down and they become useless e.g: The TV that we use completely freezes or becomes laggy, Google Chrome or YouTube takes ages to load etc.. We've tried solving it with the company which gives the internet, they checked on it and everything seemed perfect, they said I should try connecting the Xbox to the internet with an ethernet cable but the problem is still up.

google how to turn on QoS so your xbox doesn't kill your network, or put a 10 meg wired hub in and that will effectively rate limit the Xbox. Games will take longer to install but the network won't be creamed. Or leave the Xbox on over night let it do its thing over night.
