Got my Xbox yesterday, so I’m completely new to this.

I noticed that while downloading games from the Microsoft Store, the download keeps pausing intermittently. It downloads at full speed for some time (around 100 Mbps, which matches my internet plan), then suddenly stops downloading for 2–3 minutes or sometimes longer, and then resumes again automatically.

Since it reaches full speed when active, I don’t think it’s an internet issue.

Is this expected behavior on Xbox (maybe due to installation/decompression in background), or is there something wrong with my console/settings/network?

I am looking for a xbox series s/x console(not very old though) in Bangalore. If anyone is interested in selling, please DM.

Since Regalia Gold is devalued, I’m looking at Axis Horizon vs HSBC TravelOne as alternatives — both seem like decent mid-tier travel cards.

My primary use case:

•	Travel spends (flights/hotels)

•	Good reward rate for travel redemptions

•	Lounge access is important (domestic + international)

•	Planning to get an add-on card for my spouse mainly for lounge usage

Would appreciate inputs from anyone using either (or both):

•	Which one gives better overall value for travel?

•	How’s the real-world reward redemption experience?

•	Any issues with portals / pricing / transfers?

•	Is lounge access smooth (especially for add-on users)?

Trying to pick one long-term card, so looking for practical feedback rather than just specs.
