Your bandwidth is too low for data streaming.
Hello, I have 'Low Bandwidth warning issue'. It's same as below.

It happens when connection to server is too slow. You may try switching servers, or check your ISP/router/modem/PC for bandwidth limitations.

Try switching Router off 10secs then on again to reset it.

Thanks for your reply.
My Japanese friend sent me the following information.

Online Services status is 'Investigating'.

I did do 'Restart Online Functionality'.
But It does not work.

I changed SOUTH-EAST ASIA (ping:90ms) to EAST USA (ping:90 to 140ms).
But It's same situation.
Regards.

It sounds like what you might gain from the USA servers are better is being lost with connecting 12,000 miles away. The eastern USA is on the other side of the globe from you. Can you change to other locations to see if you get a better ping?

I know from dealing networking issue between the USA and Philippines that the over the Pacific connections can be slower. In many ways it is a modern miracle that it is even possible.

Hello,

I changed to WEST USA (ping 150 to 190ms). But It's same situation.

Have you ever tried 'tracert' ? You use it like ping but it shows the path and times. Sometimes it can help show where your delay is.

Thanks for your reply.
I have not tried 'tracert'. How can I use 'tracert' ?
I want to know the route from my location to SOUTH-EAST ASIA or other servers.

Just like ping, except type tracert.

Hello,
I confirm each ping of server using msfs2020.
It is listed right upper side of msfs main menu.
Let me know actual servers address.
I will be able to do 'traceroute' using them on PowerShell.

I solved my issue.
I referred the following link.

6. Restore Bing Map and undo any modification made to your host file by your plug-ins
Use the windows search bar and search for Notepad. Right-click and select Run as Administrator.
In Notepad, go to File > Open and then navigate to Windows (C:), Windows, System32, drivers, etc
and open the host file.
Get rid of lines such as
127.0.0.1 kh.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 khstorelive.azureedge.net
Save and exit

I opened
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
I was surprised that describes following lines.

127.0.0.1 kh.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 t3.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 t2.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 t1.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 t0.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 khstorelive.azureedge.net
127.0.0.1 kh.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 t3.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 t2.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 t1.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 t0.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 khstorelive.azureedge.net
127.0.0.1 kh.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 t3.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 t2.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 t1.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 t0.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 khstorelive.azureedge.net

I removed them.
After that, I re-started my PC and msfs2020.
I confirmed msfs2020 works well.
Best regards
