Just bought Spider-Man GOTY. Installing the main game first.

42MB of 63GB so far

74 hours left?!

According to fast.com on my laptop that's ten feet away from the PS4 I'm getting 140Mbps downloads

The fuck is wrong with my PS4

I think the Sony servers cap the download speeds

that's crazy.

the longest that I had to wait was for the digital version of Red Dead Redemption 2, and that was about 18 hours.

My PS4 download time has always been awful. My Xbox One downloads hella faster. Don't know why there's such a huge difference.

Your provider might be throttling your connection.

But the speed is working fine on all other devices? Can they throttle a specific device?

If you have an OG PS4 then that model only has 2.4ghz WiFi so your 2.4 channel might have congestion/interference issues. Can try changing WiFi channel on your router (try only 1, 6 and 11 and stick with whatever one performs the best of the three)

If you have a slim or pro then it should have 5 ghz WiFi capability so be sure youre on the 5ghz network in the PS4 network settings

oh, only the old ps4s are locked to 2.4ghz wifi? that's good to hear at least, just yeah, for me it's super congested and channing channels isn't going to help much when there's like literally 20+ 2.4 connections around me. lmao

the only option for me is wired. if you're in the same situation as me then i highly recommend going wired TC

They can throttle specific connections.

Yeah I ended up wiring it and it downloaded in about 40 minutes

Unfortunately there's like 12 cable hookups in this house but only one actually connects the router to the internet and it's in a super remote area. Next to the fireplace off the dining room. Like what the fuck.

Yeah, I don't trust the Wi-Fi channel on any PS4. I have that shit plugged into my router via CAT5. Even then, I'm lucky to get 10 down and 2 up.

I wish I could go wired, but my house's router is both in a different room and on another floor.

I've have fast internet, but my PS4 speeds have always been terrible even wired. Sony's servers cap the speeds, I believe. Steam is always blazing fast for me.

PS4 servers throttle speeds. Use an Ethernet cable for best results

D/Ling on a PS4 is slow as hell and it still eats up the entirety of my network connection when I do it :(
