This issue was reported years ago. The original forum thread was automatically/incorrectly closed without the issue being fixed. > [@Incorrect Bandwidth randomly decides its 10500Mbps](https://forums.plex.tv/t/incorrect-bandwidth-randomly-decides-its-10500mbps/229030): > > From /status/sessions i will randomly have a friend that shows 10500Mbps. This has been going on for a few months now. Its not just one person and its not consistent. Has anyone else seen this bug in the bandwidth reporting? \ ---

I think the same questions as before will apply - can you share the [XML info](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201998867-Investigate-Media-Information-and-Formats) for that file? Does it change if you `Analyze` the file? ---

If it’s not effecting playback then there’s nothing to worry about. Particulary with Live TV if it’s direct streaming will say 10Gbps but doesn’t matter. Either way, need more information. ---

I’m not sure what file and where to copy it from; as I wasn’t involved in that forum thread. I just monitor Plex bandwidth utilization via Tautulli and found the below Reddit post which pointed me to the _other_ forum post. I’ll see if I can post that xml file here. > **[r/Tautulli - Bandwidth : 10000 Mbps](https://www.reddit.com/r/Tautulli/comments/edw08a/bandwidth_10000_mbps/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)** > > 4 votes and 3 comments so far on Reddit ---

This value is used if the actual bandwidth cannot be determined by Plex. Like with live streams for instance. ---
