Why does PSN throttle your internet?

[Hood Critic]

To improve your download speeds close running or background applications. This is difficult to do on a PS4 since there is no "task manager" but PSN isn't throttling your connection, your actual console is. There is a builtin QoS or resource management that is supposed to prevent background tasks from interfering with the active application so traffic outside of it is metered.

LMAO so you get that much down but 10 up? Sure And a simple google search will turn up dozens of discussions over the years regarding this. World doesn't revolve around you friend

Yes, that the same speed that shows on the laptop and phones on my network. That's how Cox is set up. You get about a 10th of your upload speed compared to your download speed. Been that way for years.

And I don't tend to look up technical problems that I am not experiencing. My digital world does revolve around me, friend.

So what is the point of even coming in this thread then?

don't have those issues.

I do use an open dns server address and have all my ports open for my ps4 static ip

I actually have to change my DNS server to google's DNS address 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 and it SOMETIMES increases my speeds substantially, but sometimes there is no difference, but it's definitely worth a try @The G.O.D II
