But it's not free on the PS4 for many.. and still slow..    (Xbox One offers the same free part, and its not slow).. 

It is very slow when it comes to updates in comparison to ps4

Not for me. I have both consoles, same household, same internet. The X1 downloads games and updates way faster.

I doubt for the system software



Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

It is slow, but when you are on top, those issues are considered "Minor" to "Not Important".

I also have a 60mb/s Internet and it never took me 2 hrs to download anything at least not under 8gb.How big is fire watch that it took so long?

Its 6.3gb, taking 3 hours (I'm guessing that means over 3 hours at the monet, when I pause and resart it boosts it to 50 minutes before slowing down a minute or two later. So, with a 60mb/s net you should be get 6 mb a second, right? I should be getting 9 mb a second based on my speed test average...wow, sony need to get on this. Does it get better if the file is over 8gb?

Gonna try and find a game in my library that's around the same size and see how long it takes, Possible it's just your area that's bad at the moment, however I've never seen higher than 4-4.5 megabytes a second, that's about the peak for PSN speed regardless of your ISP.

PS4 updates are usually only 200-300mb..  X1 is usually 1gb or more..   So.. I can say. It doesnt take 4 times longer..

I'll try and download something in that region and see how long it takes.At this very moment I am downloading the Nioh Alpha demo which is near 4GB,it's saying 17mins for full download.It took me 3mins to download the first GB,will update in a few.

 

Edit:8mins to download 2GB.

Because Sony doesnt care.

The PSShop has been broken since day one on my PS4. They won't admit it though.

I can't visit the PsStore twice in the same session. It simply won't load. I found a workaround wich is to just switch profile and back to your own and then magically it works again. Its just bad.

You have to turn off the internet and then turn it on in the networks option if this happens. The PS store was always terrible since they changed it from the purple one on the ps3

Thats pretty much what happens cause my other profile doesnt have internet. It's really annoying how they refuse to fix it.

Never had this issue or any other issue with the store.

Anyway Just downloaded grand ages medieval in 25 minutes, 5.15gb game.

Demo 3.86GB downloaded and installed in 18mins.So it must be your area or region.

Its downloading at a 300kp/s now....wow that is bullshit. Still gets to 30Mb/s when I pause and resart, I can count a long with with 3mb downloading every second but then Sony seem to have some kind of limiter that cuts it to 10Mb/s after one minute 30 seconds and then limits it even more randomly. I'm certain that my ISP isn't tanking it and is running at 75Mb/s up to over 90Mb/s. I'm not expecting that speed but I'd at least like it to stay stable at 10Mb if thats what PSN can handle but the dips below that are not acceptable. I'm off to complain to Sony to see if there is anything I can do, I am paying an asinine amount of money for net and intend to download Uncharted 4, that will take me between 30 - 90 hours depending on the dippage. Completely unacceptable, Steam runs at full speed...the fuck sony.

Something is definitely wrong with your connection to your ps4.I downgraded my Internet from the 60 to 30Mb down and still took the 18mins for 4GBs to download.
