I cannot guarantee that any of these will work, but I've had personal experience and seen people say that certain methods do speed up downloads. I am no expert, so I can't really explain why all of these might work in a particularly technical or accurate way, but they do seem to work.

These are predominantly for PS4 since that is what I own, and I do not own an Xbox One. There may be other methods that can help with Xbox One, and it's well worth checking out Twitter and other such places to see what people are suggesting. If you have any questions, ask and I'll do my best to answer, and I'm sure there are some more knowledgeable Guardians around too who will be happy to help.
Don't forget to spread the word!
For PS4/Xbox One: Changing your DNS to the Google Dev DNS (you can check it out here if you have any security concerns etc, but trust me, it's secure). In the past, this has sped up my downloads on my PS4 when the servers have been particularly crowded, such as when the BO3 beta was released. It's worth trying the same here, as it's sped up my 2.0 download. I can't promise this will work but it certainly helped me.

For PS4:
From the PS4 Menu (XMB), scroll right to Settings > Network > Set Up Internet Connection > Select either Wi-Fi or LAN cable (Wired)
Wi-Fi: Custom > Select Network > Enter Password (automatically saved if you are already using this network) > IP Address Settings (automatic) > DHCP Host Name (Do Not Use) > DNS Settings (Manual)
LAN (Wired): Custom > IP Address Settings (Automatic) > DHCP Host Name (Do Not Use) > DNS Settings (Manual)
From there, enter the Primary DNS as '8.8.8.8' and the Secondary DNS as '8.8.4.4'
Next > MTU Settings (Automatic) > Proxy Server (Do Not Use) > Test Internet Connection
For Xbox One:
From the Xbox One home screen, go to Settings > Network > Advanced settings > DNS settings > Manual. (If Settings doesn't appear on the home screen, select My Games & Apps, then Settings.)
From there, enter the Primary DNS as '8.8.8.8' and the Secondary DNS as '8.8.4.4'
Edit: /u/Dark_Jinouga has pointed out that Google DNS isn't the only option out there, and that Open DNS is also a viable option.
For PS4 and potentially Xbox One: I've read that leaving your PS4 in Rest Mode/standby mode (not sure what the equivalent is for Xbox One) can speed up the update, presumably because your PS4 is using less internet on and focusing solely on the update. Haven't tried it, can't promise it will work.
For PS4 only: I've heard pausing and unpausing the download can 'speed up' the process, but it is possible it only provides you with a more accurate countdown/resets the countdown. Not sure, but worth trying if you have some absurd figure that you don't think is correct. Personally, on one occasion where I had a 70 hour figure, pausing and unpausing brought that down to something far smaller and more accurate.

Edit: People have mentioned below that it does apparently work. Worth trying. Not sure if it works similarly on Xbox One. As /u/IAmFreak has pointed out, it possibly renews your request to download the file, which makes sense.

Proxy server: /u/swemoney suggested this in the comments:
Installing a local proxy server on your network can improve PS4 downloads as well. Head over to privoxy.org and install it on a PC ok your network, then point your PS4 to that machine's IP address as its proxy in your network settings. Not sure why it works but you should have the full strength of your ISP now.
General advice: Just do the stuff you would normally do to speed up your internet. Throw your sister off Netflix, disconnect any devices you aren't using, and maybe go outside (I've heard quite nice) and put a bit less strain on your internet by staying in here on Reddit. Make sure you don't have anything sucking up your bandwidth. In many cases, a LAN cable rather than wifi will speed you up a bit too, though only viable if you have access to your router.
