My god PS4 network speeds are astrocious. Sony capping people speeds(Study Vid)

[Fatboi1]

Are you really in Japan? I remember you saying you were going there for some voyage and shyt, but I didn't know if you did it.

nah I'm not. This just my language setting.

I don't understand why some of you are acting like what's in the OP is something that isn't an issue.

Yal not posting any pics of shyt, but claiming yal good with the speeds. Ok, it's simple... run a speedtest on your PC/laptop, and screen cap it, and then run the test on PS4 and post a screen so we can compare.

I pulled this from a wired connection on my PC

I pulled this from a wireless connection off my laptop which is in my office

I pulled this from my wired connection off my PS3 which is also in my office

It's always been like this for some odd reason with PS3/PS4. They must be capping netspeeds and I have no idea why they do it.

My PS4 is downstairs, but the fastest I've seen on that is around 30, and before I copped a newer router it would be a lot less than that over wifi. So again, I'm aware of this shyt, because I've noticed the inconsistent speeds when compared to other devices.

Xbox 360 (with adapter on the OGs) and I'm assuming the One also can detect a 5GhZ signal which neither the PS3 or PS4 can. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that due to that FACT that you'll see faster speeds from users on Xbox. I will never understand why the hell Sony didn't even make the PS4 capable of connecting to a 5Ghz wireless signal. shyt makes no sense at all.

Weird

So just forgo the wifi and use a wired connection... Also it could be other high priority devices utilizing the wifi network slowing it down, right???

nikka this is absolutely retarded suggestions
so instead of sony just not having trash ass wifi receptors, I should just completely cramp my style and wire this shyt?? nikkas be stanning objects like they shouldn't improve or don't have room to do so

This is excellent solid post thank you for your contributions. I am aware that some guys on here are so fanboyish that they deny anything that will shine Ps4 in a negative picture. I believe this is a serious issue and Sony need to address it and guys talking about Sony could do the cloud and shyt smh.

I'm not stanning anything.. if the wifi part of the wifi chip is weak then so be it... What are you gonna do take it apart and upgrade the part itself???? Its always kinda been common knowledge that sony undercuts the parts of the playstation to cut costs... so what???

On my PS4

Idk what it is but using Privoxy sped it up for me.

My DL speeds are just as fast on PS4 as on my PC.

Y'all need to do this

How to Increase Your PS3 Download Speed(Tutorial)

Instructions are for PS3 but it works on PS4.

Fact that you making this sound like something they shouldn't do is the worst part man

They've been doing it for a long time, so has microsoft so has other companies... complaining bout it is a moot point unless your sitting on the board of corporate figures to enact change, then bytching about it doesnt help. is all im saying... You can complain to high heaven but they wont change it, they wont care... it meets specifications and the masses will consume it...

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

I'll wait till it drops to 250

When that PS4 price drop comin?

 

[MeachTheMonster]

The difference in responses in this thread compared to the one about issues with Xbox are night and day.

Sony Stans

Stay with the on for Sony.

PS4 is built cheap as fukk all the way down to the controller.

But instead of calling Sony out, y'all wanna make excuses

So @Fatboi1 posts his and you say you dont believe him.

@GoldenGlove posts a ps3 test,which is not whats being discussed and its an "excellent post"

Fatboi1 is also admittedly using a 3rd party to speed up his connection. If that is required to get the speeds you already pay for then there is a huge problem.

PS4 users you guys need to post some stats

 

[Leasy]

After explaining that all of the answers he was giving were not possible in this situation, I asked if he had any other ideas, he said he would do some more research into the hardware. A few minutes later, he came back on the line and said that it appears that there's a software filter (for those of you who are Bit Torrenters, it's the same as the uTorrent client where you can enter a cap speed on the upload bandwidth. It's insanely simple) on the PS4 to keep the speeds capped at a certain level to "ensure stability." WOW. I repeat his statement back, and say "OK, so you're telling me that the PS4 slows end user speeds for stability and have never explained this fact to the userbase? Even though no other company does that, especially the competition? Do you realize that this is a constant topic of frustration on almost every support messageboard for the PS4 and no one from the Playstation team has ever chimed in with this pertinent information?" He then quickly tried to backtrack and explain that I misunderstood what he had said. But it makes absolute sense why all of us are having so many network speed issues, and the Sony/PS4 team need to unlock our connection caps.

So, the question then, is, why Sony would do this? Well, think about it. When the PS3 launched and the PSN was free, it makes sense to cap the speeds and keep bandwidth consistent so they knew just how much they had to spend to upgrade their servers and handle the network load. But, since they started charging us for the right to play multiplayer games online, it seems pretty shady to continue the practice. It's also why M$ constantly uses marketing speak to tout their massive investment in millions of new servers, making Xbox Live the fastest and most reliable gaming network, as well as their "Cloud Computing to offload CPU strain" bullsh*t. Sony also never discusses their online infrastructure. By filtering speeds, they never have to worry about spikes in network traffic load, which would expose their underdeveloped server farm, which would require them to spend a fortune on a whole new gaggle of servers.
