Hey guys,
It's going to take me two days to download a game on my Playstation 4. The game is only 43GB. I started 9 am yesterday and I am finally 20 GB downloaded, estimation time is still 27 hours. Is my internet at fault for the slow download speeds? Are their any tricks at all to speed up the process?
I'm on a 6mbps internet plan
Just buy physical dude
Get a better plan. Something like 35 or 50mbps.
Jesus christ I forgot how bad slow internet is
Not 12 or 24?
Set your dns to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and keep your mtu at 1500
Youre welcome
What does that matter?
Just an example and those are the choices for internet plans in my city.
>Physical Media
>In current year
Does that actually work?
It's your internet, 6 mbps is equivalent to ~750 KB/s.
Yeah, it tends to help. IDK why, but the PS4 always has way slower than usual download speeds. Another thing is to make sure that you don't have any games or apps running in the background. If everything is closed, it seems to download much faster
43GB are 43*1024*8 Mbit. That is 352256 Mbits you gotta download. In a perfect world it would take you 16 hours to download this.
But you have a PS4. Their network is shit. They have 3 different hosts for their datacenters. 2 of those suck. Their network software is a buggy piece of shit since gooks can't into computers.
And then they only chooses the worst of the worst network parts of a batch. Like Apple pays manufacturers a premium for their best of the best parts? Sony sneaks into the garbage cans and steals the trash that is not good enough to be used in a commercial product.
I have a 400 mbit connection. In a perfect world, I would need 14 minutes to download your game. On steam, Battle.net, GoG, hell even Origin, I actually download this much in 14-15 minutes. On PlayStation consoles? It takes 3-5 hours.
And we pay them money. let that sink in, we pay them money for their online services.
Figures....
I do that in router or in the ps4?
PS4
Thanks, bro.
don“t expect any improvements.
What said is still true
Whatever you do, is snake oil
That's fucked up, man.
how come your interenetis so shit?
living in a third world country or out in the fields?
even in shitty mexico I can get 20Mb/s for fairly cheap.
and speeds go up to 300Mb/s for like $50USD/month
And remember that all of this would be about 2/3rds the size if devs would just compress their fucking graphics and audio.
