I'm pretty sure Sony throttles your downloads based on forcing QoS on people. If you upgrade or downgrade your ISP speeds... you'll notice that your PSN speeds seem to scale with the percentage that you changed.

I feel like the PS4 is about 30-35% of your max speed, the vita is 15% of your max speed and the PS3 just has a shitty NIC.


That's pretty bad. 

Yes and No honestly.

In a more heavily web based world -- it actually makes sense to enforce a form of QoS on a device like the PS4. The PS4 and Vita are both entwined in a marriage based on remote play and now PS Now. Also, if you remember the PS3 wouldn't download ANYTHING while you were doing ANYTHING.  Inversely, the PS4 will let you play games... but they QoS your download even more if you are in a game.

But more importantly, the ovewhelming majority of (almost all) gamers are too stupid and/or ignorant to implement their own form of QoS. If they live in a house with multiple other devices using the web ... its not really acceptable for that one device to eat up the entire bandwidth.

I just wish that IF I am right... they actually implemented an override... or some way to bring it up to closer to 70%.
