Anyone else get this. my downloads used to be very slow, so i switched from wifi to wired. now I'm wired directly into my modem and my internet test shows i get about 30 Mbs/s which is on par with my normal internet connection. however, when i watch something download, it can fluctuate from less to a meg per second to 4 MB/s. 3 or 4 is about what i get with steam downloads on my pc, so whats the deal with psn? is it just the net work itself or is there some settings i should be checking

@REforever101:

Its your router, ISP or your physical distance from one the PS servers.

PSN seems to be inconsistent.. I wonder if they still have Akamai hosting all their shit on PSN..

Personally my downloads on PSN download just as fast as anything on Steam, Origin, etc, whatever...

I know some people have issues where everything downloads fine on every other service but stuff on PSN will download at like 1/100th of the speed it should.
