On the ps4 it is varying between 1MB/s - 30Mb/s but for the most part syas below 10Mb/s by the calculations of the ps4 and averages at 15Mb/s by my calculation from what I've downloaded and how long those downloads have taken. This is not just inconsistant its about 10% of what I'm getting on pc and laptop. Also, I never have anything running at the same time and I'm using the internet right now on 3g just to use up my prepaid data which will expire soon. |
Just as a test, does remote play work without problems on your network at 720p60? At least you can rule out any dips to 1 mbps caused by your router if that runs stable, it uses between 8 and 10 mbps. I had a problem with my router and ps3, new router solved it. It was so bad that when the ps3 was trying to download something all my other devices could hardly browse the internet while the ps3 only got 2 mbps. Oddly watching Netflix on it worked fine without any conflicts.
Maybe it depends on the game too? I have no idea if Sony hosts all downloads themselves or if certain games can come directly from publishers? I've had certain Steam games download at 128 kb/s while others reach 5 MB/s, depends on where it ultimately comes from.
You think you solve all your problems by getting fast internet, only to be introduced to a world of variable bit rates beyond you local hub :/ Just for fun, did a speed test to Carlow, Ireland from Canada, despite a horrible ping (118 ms) I still get 90% of my download and upload speed.
Antanarivo, Madagascar 318ms ping, 50% download, 30% upload speed.
Malang, Indonesia 314ms ping, 5% download speed, 12% upload speed.
Irrelevant, fun new game though, find the worst connection! :)
