Well, when I had a PS4, using the same brand new configured router, it would cap out at around.. I think 25 down. On my Xbox One, it shows 60 down, which is what I am getting from my provider. The Wii-U is the same thing. For whatever reason, Sony and Nintendo are capping the speeds, or not allowing anything over a certain speed. Either that, or they don't play nice with my connection, but that doens't make any sense because the Xbox One runs full blast without any adjustments.

As for the cloud storage, are you sure?

I'm pretty sure it's unlimited cloud storage.

It is not Sony or Nintendo... it is your blackbone or how much the servers are far away from it.

You can do a tracerouter in both consoles (Xbone and PS4) to compare the servers that it will access to reach MS/Sony... that way you will see what is capping your connection... maybe your internet provider needs way more points (servers) to reach PSN than Xbox Live... that can means you have a Xbox Live server near you while the PSN server is far away from you.

It is a example and that changes from situation to situation.

But they are not capped in neither case.

It is 256GB.

BTW unlimited is impossible because you needs to have unlimited space in your servers that is impossible and limited by today technology... what they do is create a big space for each users enough to them never reach that limit.


Hes partially right. Sony seems to put an artificial Quality of Service cap on all their devices. The ps3/4 is about 30% of bandwidth vs 15% for the vita. The speed always scales to your max bandwidth. 

 

There are legit reasons for this however. The system can passively download now and files are enormous. If it didn't cap, other users on the network would have issues.

 

As for the 1gb... I agree that they really should up it. It doesn't help that games like MKX autoupload 100mb replays, and lbp3 can eat up hundreds of mb.
