I remember having our shareplay Bloodborne game having the biggest lag I've experienced in my life.

Those are FROM's servers, aren't they?  I wonder where they're located.

I dont know about Uabit (I'm sure they do and can clearly see they improved the network over PS3, man that was a mess sometimes, constent crashing and often went to 360 for online games) but I know for a fact that everything is okay, my ISP is not trottling it, ethernet cable doesn't make any difference, so its not wifi, I'm going to check again after mindnight, I can see that it was just after school closed that it dipped from just 10-15MB/s to 3-5Mb/s and then again two hours later when more teens (and possibly adults of work) would be home and it dipped to between 1-3Mb/s and slowly has started rising again since then. There are a lot of posts online about this dippage, its Sonys servers. I'll post back with the speed after midnight if anyone is interested.

Lots of ISPs have dips during peak hours.  Mine does, as does pretty much anything with shared bandwidth.  It could be the server network Sony (or the publisher) is using, it could be your own ISP throttling large downloads, it could be any of the networks and ISPs between your console and the servers in question, or it could be any combination of those things.  That was the point I was trying to make with the post I quoted.

As far as Netflix goes, they pay the biggest ISPs for extra bandwidth consideration.

There are so many variables.  I remember reading a post by a guy who switched ISPs and his PS4 speeds surged.
