    I got a direct answer to part of my question which was is it faulty, nothing else about download issues. I understand PSN is slow but on a 200mb line and the PS4 gets at most 35mbps if that on average, that can't be right can it?



    Like I said it was on a partial answer with no information. I asked if there could be a fault with my ps4 not that it is broken. As with all things it is possible to have a fault with the Ethernet controller of the console. I just wanted to see if anyone else has these dire speeds to the extent of barely getting 10% of my line speed.

    Is it wifi or Ethernet the problem is with? I have read that some are gettung faster speeds across wifi then wired connections. Ususly a faulty wifi/ethernet either work or dont not cause dlowdowns if faulty.

    One look at the video and it's obviously him and the second you hear him speak there's absolutely no doubt about it.

    You stated you get 20-60 mb/s on the test and approx that on the browser tests, that is more than enough to download any content relatively fast on PSN, count yourself far more fortunate than most when downloading from PSN, some take a few days to download and can't do anything else because their is no pause download feature, your PS4 is not broken, broken things don't work, yours obviously works just fine.

    I also stated that on the browser speed tests that it never went higher than 20mbs. Which means one test or both aren't accurate. It also may state 60mbps which is roughly 7.5MB/S but like I said on average I get only 2MB/s with most of the time being less than 1MB/S with real download test. You're right 20-60mbps speeds are good for downloading but im clearly not getting that at all. I also never said it was broken. I asked if it could be faulty in some way.

    It is the same on WiFi as it is on Ethernet although the Ethernet is more consisstent obviously. The ps4 is less than 2 feet away from the router. This is why I thought that there could be a fault in the PS4 but everyone seems to be saying there's no way its a fault.

    Daylight is a bad game. Avoid at all costs.

    That is all.

    I know that. I just meant everyone is saying the same thing but I felt something was wrong. Anyways, I went into safe mode and reinstalled the latest update via internet and now my connection is much better than before.

    It'll be slow again, PSN can be fast but it's also very inconsistent and incredibly slow when PS+ updates.

    Mind the hdmi port when plugging in the cable, there was an issue of a metal tab sticking up that broke the hdmi cable termination, don't know how relevant it is now.

    Just the usual stuff after that, give the console a nice amount of breathing space, etc.

    Get yourself a ps+ subscription to avail of some freebies in the PSN store. (you should get a few days trial with your purchase of the console).

    Kick back and enjoy!

    I hope you can set who you see online. It's equally as annoying to have a constant steam of notifications every few minutes.

    I don't have it yet. But that's just because the only games I have are infamous ss and tomb raider, and the free games haven't really interested me so far.

    I'll get it though later on in the year when I get fifa and destiny

    Should have saved your money for the Whistleblower DLC for Outlast. It is out next week.



    Use Plex. Works perfectly for me via the PS4 browser. At least until they add the functionality.

    Tried using Plex through the browser but just freezes on the loading screen when I go to play anything.
