    I am not sure about TV , but some of the Apple TV shows/movies definitely going up to 25 mbs in bandwidth (4k + Atmos).

    There is nothing left for your PS5

    Is it a bad broadband in general you have or just a poor WiFi coverage in place where PS5 /Apple TV located?

    Just a simple version of impact of streaming.

    SD - 2-3 mbps

    HD - 5 mbps

    UHD - 10mbps

    4k - 25mbps

    (Note netflix and other paid streaming services do a better job of reduced bandwidth)

    So if you are only getting 40 mbps speed some day and you run a 4k stream you only have 15mbps to spare, which won't be enough to really run a decent fps game.


    Directly connecting PS5 rather tan using Wifi might help reduce any potential impact.

    Broaband is fine until the Eir app is turned on on th eapple device. Netflix, prime video, youtube etc. have no effect on it.


    I have the PS5 cabled but through tp-link to the modem. its just a pain in the *** when herself is watching love island :-D

    Did you ever fix this issue?

    Im trying to fix my upload speed on my PS5 (Nat still set to Type 2 though)

    Im getting 2-3mbps upload but 140mbps download, even though Ive opened up the TCP & UDP ports suggested by Sony. The issue could be due to the Eir F2000 modem or possibly Eir restricting Playstation traffic in general.

    But this thread has me questioning apple tv too. I have the two Apple tv boxes on standby but not running when I do my PS5 speed tests.
