From a company point of view I don't blame them if we had gotten digital like Microsoft initial view we would be like steam right now but these console peasants are stuck in the past. The game changing.

I haven't purchase a used game in years since I became a grown ass man

I'm getting a good laugh of this thread.

you just can't think that's all. Everything Sony. Digital is the way to go and look how it helped PC gaming.

Lets be honest, the people that are outright mad because of the hike are broke nikkas. And sony is able to do this because they're destroying the competition.

The funny thing is all they're doing is matching the competitiors same pricing

Is that big enough? So again, what are these shortcomings?

First of all, you took that statement completely out of context.
What I was saying is that @Fatboi1 is too much of a stan to debate anything with because he refuses to acknowledge anything wrong with sony. Your reading comprehension is terrible.

Now let's talk about what I meant in my reply to him.

Slow PSN store?

Solved: My ps4 will connect to the internet but won't load... - Page 5 - PlayStation® Forums

Many people complain about the psn store not loading, or running very laggy. Many people talking about having to restart the ps4 and rebuild the database to fix the problem.

There are many links you can check, Google is your friend.

slowed down internet?

Is PSN throttling my SPEEDS?? - PlayStation® Forums

This link has people descussing the download speed on psn.

Here's the real reason the PS4 connection speeds a... - PlayStation® Forums

This link has people testing the download speed of live and psn. Psn seems to have a cap, live always matches your internet speed.

Email proof of my personal information being stolen from psn. I had to fight for that refund too.

I would like to preface this explanation that this isn't a hypothesis or a good guess, these are facts that came from testing and research done by network professionals (2 engineers, a network admin, and a multiplayer game developer), and an admission by a PS4 call center guy that tried to backtrack once I repeated what he had said to me.

Only the XB1 connects to the 5Ghz band, as M$ put the new 802.11 ac tech in the console, while Sony used last gen 802.11 b/g/n for their WiFi connection. Even the Galaxy S4 (which is two years old) uses 802.11 ac, so Sony kind of skimped on their WiFi connecting hardware. That absolutely would affect your connection speeds if you're using WiFi, but for this test we had both the XB1 and the PS4 hardwired to the router. And after those tests, we directly connected both consoles to the modem.

We did extensive testing on the network, and almost all of the devices recorded 100 MBps DL speeds and around 40 MBps UL. The XB1 actually went OVER the 100, (it hit 112 MBps DL one one test), and the X360, when hardwired, hit the 100 DL speed as well.

the PS4 never recorded speeds over 40 MBps DL and 5 MBps UL. I suspected that it had something to do with the old network tech, but my engineer buddies said that old WiFi hardware doesn't matter when hardwired to the 100 BASE-T, especially since the last gen X360 records 100 MBps speeds when hardwired.

why Sony would do this? Well, think about it. When the PS3 launched and the PSN was free, it makes sense to cap the speeds and keep bandwidth consistent so they knew just how much they had to spend to upgrade their servers and handle the network load. But, since they started charging us for the right to play multiplayer games online, it seems pretty shady to continue the practice.

It's also why M$ constantly uses marketing speak to tout their massive investment in millions of new servers, making Xbox Live the fastest and most reliable gaming network

By filtering speeds, they never have to worry about spikes in network traffic load, which would expose their underdeveloped server farm, which would require them to spend a fortune on a whole new gaggle of servers.

Here's some quotes for you nikkas saying that there is no difference between live and psn.

Now in what way is an increase in price justified?

You realized right?


if you actually understood what you posted, you'd see there's a logical leap there and a conclusion from a false premise. A simple test from one location isn't sufficient to make a passing judgement on something. Where's the mention of the ISP?? Does the ISP not play a role in capping speeds? Network settings?

Saying that the PS4 never reach XX speeds is merely related that specific person's setup findings.

Here, let me show you proof of how people going on tangents about "PSN SLOW!!!!" is just too prone to variables and as such making passing statements is retarded.

Here's my speeds from my desktop.

Here's a connection TEST on my PS4.

Download speeds 90.3MBPS and upload 58.3... Mind you this is just a connection test. It's just a rough estimate and it fluctuates but it isn't nothing like the actual DOWNLOAD speeds.. which are pretty much the same as STEAM and I have proof.


Here's actual real time downloading..


What's that?? 10+/MBs?? Simple test that disproves the nonsense you posted.



Here, I am getting full DL speeds on PSN with no trickery involved. How sway?


Another FULL video from the actual loading of the "Slow laggy ass PSN store" as you call it.




Obviously, you didn't bother to read the link you posted where people explained to the OP that ISP throttling is a real thing. I had Comcast before, I had oftentimes experienced slow connection speeds on PSN.

I have Verizon Fios now. Whaaddya know?? My PSN speed problems seems to have vanished.

I've posted about this before with me saying that the wifi in PS4/Vita sucks.

but apparently I don't say nothing is wrong with Sony products.

Here's me showing my connection speeds being good since last year:
http://www.thecoli.com/posts/14932586/

I don't even use Privoxy anymore.

I have the receipts breh. Dudes never want to understand that there's differences in ISPs, router settings, connection types etc that can affect them so posting dumb ass connection tests aren't valid proof. I have download proof. A 3+GB file downloading in 6 minutes on PS4 RIGHT NOW but I'm sure you'll just deflect and say something unrelated. High quality internet, hard wired, very little ping so my connection on PSN is pretty much rock solid.

Lemme guess u think DL speeds affect lag and connection huh? Playing BLOPS 3, experience issues and blame Sony not understanding that it's on the Demonware servers that Activision uses right? ?Nah that's too hard to do.





I rarely experience any problems. When I post the receipts, nikkas get mad and ignore it and refuse to acknowledge there's more variables to why YOU may be experiencing slowdowns/ bad connection but then again it's always easier to say "fukk ____" then to research.

If you actually read the link it mentions this.

" My ISP (Comcast) offers up 100 MBps DL/50 MBps UL network speed and my roomies and I have two Nighthawk routers-each router has two WiFi bands: 1. The new high speed 5 Ghz that connects with 802.11 ac, and 2. The normal 2.3 Ghz that connects with 802.11 b/g/n-at home. One on router we have 2 laptops, 2 smartphones (Galaxy S4 and S5), a WiiU and an XBox 360 connected. On that particular router, the two phones use the 5Ghz band, and everything else uses the slower 2.3 Ghz. On the other router is a hardwired Xbox One & PS4.


"And after those tests, we directly connected both consoles to the modem"

You still think I'm gonna debate you?

So you ignore the fact that people have experienced throttling from various ISPs like comcast?? You ignore the fact that the link you posted the person said that PSN caps speeds yet several people posted proof of their connection not being capped?? You will conveniently ignore the proof I posted because it doesn't fit your agenda? ?Instead cling onto ONE person's problems? The person literally says that PSN caps speeds yet there's ample evidence to the contrary.

Mines included

I thought the speeds were capped? I thought it was a 40Mbps cap?? Baseless rhetoric with some fancy "techs and stuff" doesn't work here friend. Anecdotal evidence seems to be what you're clinging to.

I posted video evidence showing full speed downloads but wow you just skipped over it because it's literally the proof in the pudding.
What is your response to that?? Just another ? "Cap speeds vary..."



Just stop it, you don't understand what you're posting. You're embarrassing yourself. You're literally just taking someone's word over actual proof being posted.


Like everyone else, you'll say all this shyt yet you'll happily pay for a year because you dudes aren't putting your money where your mouth is. Don't like it? Don't pay for it. This is my last post on this thread. You obviously are just looking to push an agenda and not learn.

Breh I posted a thread two years ago about Sony capping speeds and being slow... shyt got locked
