Why are PSN users paying $50 a year for throttled internet speeds in mp?

PSN is :flabbynsick: as fukk. Took me almost 3 hours to download the bloodborne day 1 patch.

But word to @Liquid @Fatboi1 and the rest of the sony Stan coalition, who cares about the cloud and investments into network infrastructure, that's all just marketing talk.

"throttled" implies this is intentional. maybe their servers just suck
That'd be my guess, they lack infrastructure.

Seems to be worse depending on where you are regionally.

Hope they don't get too complacent with their lead in sales and remember to reinvest into the infrastructure.

Nope borrowed my nephews. Just couldn't justify a $500 purchase for one game. Maybe I'll buy one after E3 if they announce something good
Give the lil nikka his console back

I think it's intentional. I read a thread in the forums of the official playstation site where a guy tried questioning support after founding out why his speeds were so slow when he had the highest speeds from his ISP. After a lot of BS and speaking to several one of them actually stated that it's a cap.

Something is definitely shaky about psn. Me and my boy have serious issues playing anything on ps4 together (lag, stuttering, etc.) . Yes, my boy's internet sucks but we have no problems playing anything together on X1. It's weird
