This speed is ideal for small businesses with very few employees, and it functions through a DSL internet connection with a unique IP address. For the best gaming experience, be sure to have upload speeds of at least 5 Mbps and download speeds of at least 50 Mbps. This is usually normal, because most high-speed Internet connections, including cable modems and DSL, are asymmetric — they are designed to provide much better speed for downloading than uploading.
So if your upload speed appears to be slower than your download speed, this is probably expected. This was on an non-slim PS4. Yes, there could be a difference between "game running" and "game suspended in rest mode"; specifically it does look like actively playing a game can cause the download to genuinely starve for CPU.
You can find the section where this is discussed by searching for "Horizon". Excellent article thanks. Explains why pointing at my synology nas proxy sorted out the performance for me. I just wonder if receive window affects ps now applications as well. Sony would shoot themself in the foot if it does since ps4 allow to play ps now game while normal game is idling in the background.
Can this be easily verified I wonder? It'll be easy to verify by taking a packet capture. PSN is due to collapse. Its not built for the future. Cant even change your name or region on it. Only a matter of time, and they thought that hack a few years ago was bad. Interesting article! My friends and I do not only have the slow download problem, but something even worse: The "preparing download" takes over minutes times, often even longer than the download itself especially when loading updates for installed games.
Did this issue ever occur to any of you guys? I really wonder if there is a fix for this. Interesting Article. However, there must be other reasons for slow speeds. Otherwise, pausing and resuming a download should not help, which it often does. Sometimes dramatically so. Impressive analysis, thank you for sharing. I noticed on your graphs you were testing in the late morning, did you see a variability throughout the day?
My reason for asking is that in the US, netflix would often be the worst from to , I'm curious if you matched that pattern. That might indicate an overall network load correlation.
The PS4 has a special chip that can download files while the rest of the PS4 sleeps, right? Probably some integration with that that's causing it.. This was covered in an earlier comment. Downloads being handled by a coprocoessor was the original plan, but that's not what Sony implemented. Even in rest mode, it's done by the main CPU. My belief is that they've done this intentionally to prevent performance issues from downloading quickly, probably with a big issue being disk access from downloading so fast, as well as affecting latency for online games and CPU usage.
While using a local proxy is a good workaround the PS4 at least the original model can be almost unusable while downloading especially multiple downloads , causing both the games and OS to stutter and the controller to become unresponsive, taking 3 or 4 seconds to react to a button press.
Sure, it could be that this is what they were going for. The static limit on the receive window means that your setup still ends up unusable due to the downloads being too fast, while other people have their downloads unnecessarily throttled to a speed far below the effective disk speed. Without it, downloads would take hours, with it, minutes. Is it possible the latest system software 5. Can't say for sure without actually redoing the testing.
Download speeds can vary for all kinds of reasons; the only way to be certain are systematic tests. But my feeling is that they haven't fixed it.
At least I had an awkwardly slow download last week, after having forgotten to close a game. But it could also have been just a coincidence. It all depends on your Internet connection. I live in the middle of nowhere and get 1Mbps. I can just about stream SD video as long as nothing else is using the connection, and so I applaud anything Sony are doing to throttle downloads when anything else is using the Internet connection.
The problem here is that the Youtube or Netflix app is on is an awful way to detect whether somebody else is using the connection. First, it has false positives due to including the cases where the app is actually active or not.
If Youtube is suspended in the background, there's absolutely no way. Second, it has a ton of false negatives due to only looking at what's happening on that PS4 system. That's an absurd assumption: in the modern world a household will have half a dozen devices using the same internet connection. The current solution does not help at all for the case where I'm trying to watch a Youtube clip on my computer while the PS4 downloads something, or someone is trying to read a webpage on their phone, etc.
Like I wrote in the post, there are proper ways of doing this by looking at the actual network traffic patterns. The "what apps are kind of running" approach chosen for the PS4 is just totally broken.
I don't know if it's just me but my Playstation 4 has had absolutely terrible internet speeds. Nothing I've done has worked, and this has been a problem since the latest firmware update. Had zero problems, downloads started immediately and were consistent until they were finished. On the Playstation 4 the speeds fluctuate all over the place, sometimes it changes dramatically when I pause and resume.
Then it slows down more and more until it becomes unbearable. Then there's the questionable sign in problem along with PSN overall being medicore in the past few months. So how does an old, 12 year old console from the past generation give me better speeds and better consistency than a modern console that is supposed to be good?
It's very frustrating. I'm this close to buying a new Slim PS4 model just to see if the download speeds and performance are any better. Could please Test the slim version? I would like too see what has actually changed or improved on the Slim model. I am having very slow downloads speed on my PS4 that has wired connection to the router and nothing running in the background.
Why have we gone from buying decent full games that download fast on ps3 to broken half a games and really slow downloading. I am going off gaming completely just because if I want to buy and download a game I have to expect to play it the next day after I originally wanted to play it and then I just go off wanting to play the game. Was trying to download expansion packs for modern warfare was going to take 16 hours for 16GB install. Closed all my apps running I forgot to close including Modern Warfare and Netflix As an antispam measure, you need to write a super-secret password below.
Today's password is "xyzzy" without the quotes. Why PS4 downloads are so slow. Posted on in Networking , Games. Background Before running any experiments, it's good to have a mental model of how the thing we're testing works, and where the problems might be.
Maybe the client doesn't support the TCP window scaling option, while the proxy does. Without window scaling, the receive window will be limited to 64kB. But since we know Sony started with a TCP stack that supports window scaling, they would have had to go out of their way to disable it. Slow downloads, for no benefit. Maybe the actual downloader application is very slow. The operating system is supposed to have a certain amount of buffer space available for each connection.
If the network is delivering data to the OS faster than the application is reading it, the buffer will start to fill up, and the OS will reduce the receive window as a form of back-pressure. But this can't be the reason; if the application is the bottleneck, it'll be a bottleneck with or without the proxy.

My PlayStation system has a please wait message when I turn it on and after an hour of waiting for it to load it goes into a blue screen and stays there until it automatically turns off and the process repeats itself. I have not been able to play for 4 days now and I am not sure how to fix this.
You might have an overheating issue with the PS4. Try to clean the inside of PS4. Or maybe it is a critical PS4 hard drive failure. My roommate downloaded games onto my PS4 and filled up the hard drive almost all the way. After he did this, the PS4 was really laggy so I freed up almost half the space on the hard drive.
However, games still lag and freeze after I freed up space. I rebuilt the database twice and it has not helped either. Is this a problem with the hard drive or could it be dust buildup causing the lagging and freezing? I just got a message on my PS4 saying an error has occurred SU What does this mean?
