Rip of price and terrible quality, i had two both r1 buton stuck in

I've read a drop of WD40 sorts that out. Not that you should have to.

When that happens pause the download for a few seconds and then resume, it should go back to speed it was. Happens alot with big downloads on PSN.

I was downloading the system update last night and it was ridiculously slow and only 283MB.
No option to pause/unpause. I know I could stick it on a usb key but I've no idea what's changed.

I had a PS3 in the same place, also wireless and it always downloaded at high speeds. All my other devices also download at high speed and nothing else has changed in my set up.

I don't see how it's a PSN issue as I had no problems with PS3?
A couple of suggested solutions I've seen are to change DNS settings or to use Privoxy. Has anyone tried these or have any other suggestions? Plugs will be a last resort.

I can't shine a light on your problem, but I can say that side by side my PS3 is deathly slow on wireless compared to my PS4. Maybe something to do with how each console interacts with PSN?

Yeah, I don't know. I'm going to try changing the channel on the router and turning off remote play too as I've seen them mentioned too. Really just shots in the dark though. One thing I did notice is the signal strength is only about 58% but it used to be 80% plus on my PS3.

Well they've added more music, it'll obviously look a lot better, there's bonus stuff for returning players, the first person view...

I only played through once on PS3 so I went for it.

You need to do port forwarding on your modem/horizon box for psn.

is this a recent thing with upc boxes or the ps4 firmware? It worked perfectly before xmas. haven't used it in a while, dusted it off this week and the problem started

CombatCow

I doubt that would affected it, I had to do a factory reset on my box so that wiped my settings, I just added the psn ports again and I'm back on nat 2.

dawidnowak2005

When im checking connection on my ps4 getting nat2 but " ip fragmentation" error too, by wired im getting nat1 and same error, well No issues on psn, online games. Upc

PSN members, claim your 10% PlayStation Store discount this Friday

As a thank you to all of our PSN members, we are happy to announce the details of the 10% PlayStation Store discount.

The discount will be valid from 9.00am GMT on 23rd January until 9.00am GMT on 26th January. Simply use the promotion code for a one-time 10% discount off eligible items in a total cart purchase in PlayStation Store on PS3, PS4 or via store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com.

Kinda sh!tty that the code is only valid for one weekend. Still, a nice gesture.

Balls you can't use it for PS+. Not waiting til Friday to get 2 euro off Resident Evil Remastered which is live on the store now.

And it looks like you cant use it on pre-orders on the EU store. I was planning on using it for Bloodborne :mad:

I upgraded to Horizon last week and have no trouble connecting and still have NAT2 and download speeds of at least 14mbs. The only thing i did do was go into the admin page to enable UpnP but that was to get the NAT open on my Xbox One. Dunno if it effects anything on the PS4/PS3.

It says PS+ subscriptions, not PS+ games.

PS+ games are free unless you mean use it on PS+ only discounts.

Basically you can't use it to get €5 off a PS+ sub which is a kick. I would have got tow of those.

Yeah I meant PS+ Subs as PS+ games are already free.

It specifically says you can use it on pre-order games. Im gonna use it to get dying light off the US store for $54 (€46)

The EU store is different to the US store. For the EU store you're not charged for pre-orders until the release day. The PS EU Blog says:

The code must be redeemed at checkout and your discounted transaction must be completed before 9.00am on 26th January

Anyway, it still doesn't help me as Bloodborne is not available to pre-order yet.

Excluding Subscriptions leaves a sour taste. It's meant as a goodwill gesture due to the issues to the network and the network we pay for isn't even included in the discount.

Anyway, I can see myself using this more with my US account. As others have said, pre order things like Bloodborne.
