PSN Download Speeds Are Starting to Slow for Some PS4 Users

Ps4 download speeds are already ridiculously slow. It's at least twice as slow as if I download something on my pc, phone or even switch.

I've just downloaded X-Com 2 with expansions and got the same speeds I normally do (UK). Maybe it varies by area.

Already download ff7 remaster, just download soul calibur 6 patch 1 or 2 days ago, psn speed looks the same for me.

i downloaded Journey this morning with no issues, it all seemed about normal but then again i live in the sticks and download speeds were never that high anyway

Mines was reporting 36mbps download and 23mbps upload last night, it took 7hrs to download TC Ghost recon Wildlands I had to put my PS4 in rest mode to help possible increase the speed.

My ISP was reporting i was getting my full 400mbps fibre I've had speeds all week so it's not that I understand why it's like it os

Well it's been extremely slow for me, I can't even download simple 3GBs of anything!

Downloaded a 1GB+ patch for Division 2 earlier this week with no problems. The kicker was the 30-40 minutes it spent 'copying'.

I wish they'd left it with the old method - I'd rather download the whole game again as it's much quicker over all. There's no advantage to downloading an update in 5 minutes if it takes 30 minutes to install. I'd rather spend 10-15 minutes downloading the whole game again. In fact, next time there's a large update for anything I've bought digitally, I might just do that... delete it and re-download the whole thing.

Ive noticed no difference on PS4 yet, but my Vita was glacial when i was downloading stuff this week

Just downloaded shadows of the colossus 3-6 mb slower, I was still hitting 3.6mb average. Instead of 7-9mb.
I recently moved home so was only testing download speeds 6 months back.

@Nakatomi_Uk In the UK, mbps usually mean mega bits per second.

Divide by 8 to get mb download speed.
Sorry you might already know this! But sometimes people don't.

Download speeds are not too bad for me but the PSN is another story because where I'm at there is issues with the PS network crashing and not being able to connect because so many people are on at the same time there is a site on google that shows a live map of PSN outages and my area is all red but Sony keeps saying it's people's ISP even though when you do a speed test and it passes the IP and internet and then freezes on psn server saying checking. Sony needs to come out publicly and say there is an issue and they are fixing it but nope go to their site and they say all servers are good so they are blatantly lying

FFVII Remake downloaded in about 5 - 6 hours which is about right for me. Will download one of this months ps+ games to test it though.

Could it be because of the recent firmware update?

I know it isn't big, but every single active/idle PS4 are downloading it. That's still 400+mb X 100 million PS4 (probably less since they are not all active). That would be 40 petabytes to be downloaded

I thought I would try out Dirt Rally 2.0 since I was wanting to play a racing game for something fresh, but 80 GB and 10 hours later, the mood has passed.

I've definitely noticed a slowdown in the last 48 hours. My speeds normally go at 30-40 per second but now it starts off at the normal rate and gradually goes down to roughly 4 or 5. I have to keep pausing and resuming the download to get it back to my normal reliable speeds. Gameplay remains unaffected

I do mine at 1am in the morning. woke u both free games fully downloaded. tip pull out your router reset connection was having problems this sorted it.

Most I get of P.S Store is 6mb/sec

@Paranoimia I loved that on the PS3 putting in a new game to try it out. And then 30 minutes for copying files oh well ill just play it tonight after work. 😆

Suppose we have to expect this in the current climate. My speeds go from as high as 40mb per second to as low as 6. As long as the network is operating and we arent lagging I suppose we can't moan.

Hasn't effected me yet, i downloaded all the Uncharted games and The Last of Us Remastered within an entire afternoon yesterday.

Yeah a bit slower for me and also connecting to online match making fails a lot now. But never mind as im playing the story mode on RDR2 so i will be busy for a while

Well, i have been fine. Until today. I usually pull down from psn at around 10 megabytes per second but today its dropped to between 2 and 3 megabytes. I dont even understand why they are throttling it as, from someone who has quite a bit to do with this through work, there is zero issues with the increased usage due to the current situation in the UK.

is it a case of slowdown, or is it more of a bottleneck type of situation, where more people are at home using the internet.

1 person drinks from a well, or 1000 people drink from a well, how much is that first person going to get?

You say 2mb per sec is problem?
Im stuck with 100kb per sec and endless 99+ hours time left. Nothing work... pause/unpause give only slow "preparing to download", connection tests and changing DNS dont speed it even for moment, playing on ps4 and download on PC is normal so its not router and ethernet cable fault. Start download yesterday 60Gb update and after 24h have only 4Gb done. Even put console in sleep mode for night give only 1Gb.

not noticed a slow down on my network & was looking for it after you said it was slowed down weeks ago.
