Ps4 only downloading at 16 mbs

We are those who play. Wasn't able to check this topic the other day, bumping it up. Rattlesnake posted I suppose I could try that but I have my doubts given my efforts so far. Any other suggestions though while I am at it? Your internet may be 3mbps but that is max. Never will you get max because you share the tower with other families.

In the unlikely event you are the only user on, you would then see speeds closer to max. I had 3mbps net and that was the case. Peak hours sucked, my advice, upgrade the internet, but that doesn't sound like an option where you live. JoHnEyAp posted Assuming my isp isn't having problems. I have begged my isp to upgrade my speed, and while they are in the process of expanding their fiber optic network, I live in the middle of no where in a town that MIGHT have people, I am on the very edge of their service area, it could be three years or more before they run it near my house.

As for peak hours, I don't believe such a thing exists in my area, many people in this small town do not own a computer. User Info: MetalZoic. It was the same way with the PS3. When we take a picture using a digital camera, we need to have a way to transfer the picture file to a computer and then to a printer to end up with the image printed on a piece of paper. With that said, several ways have been developed for us to be able to transfer digital files from one device to another.

The simplest way to transfer a file is through a data cable specifically made to transmit data. Nowadays, we can also transfer data wirelessly through radio frequencies like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. We can now also upload or transfer data to the internet so that other people can access it. The internet is a series of computer networks running all across the world. With the internet, we can now easily send any file to our loved ones, even if they are a thousand miles away from us, as long as they also have access to the internet.

All we need to do is upload our file to the internet. Then, to access our file, people have to download it to their devices. Uploading and downloading data can take a while, depending on the file's size and transfer rate. Think of it like pouring water into a beaker.

Pouring water from one beaker to another will only take a little amount of time. However, if we place a funnel on one beaker, the amount of water flow will decrease due to the narrow part of the funnel. The flow rate of the water in this analogy is similar to the transfer rate of a file. We can compare a funnel's narrow tube part to what is called the internet's bandwidth. The larger the bandwidth is, the more data that can be transmitted at a time.

Therefore, a file can be transferred much faster if the internet connection has a larger bandwidth. Bandwidth is also, in a way, an internet connection's maximum capacity, and we can express it in units of bits per second.

Internet bandwidth can also represent the maximum speed an internet connection can have. However, when moving a file from one computer to another, the maximum transfer speed will depend on the slowest bandwidth that the data has to go through - which can be anywhere in the route. To better understand this, let us consider an example. Let's say that your friend wants to send you his new MB megabytes video creation over his 10 Mbps megabits per second internet connection.

On the other hand, you will be receiving the video file over your 5 Mbps home internet connection. This is because, this is a test between, your ps3 and top notch servers, with top notch speeds, around the world. You may also notice that the speeds from speedtest. This could be due to a bunch of things.

When I do a speed test on my laptop, ipad, iphone, etc. I get the recommended Speed mbps download. You may need to test several regions other than your own. Stay connected with that ethernet cable while troubleshooting this problem. Bypass any routers or wireless hardware totaly, and make sure all other devices in the network are totally unhooked, so there is no way they can consume bandwidth, if you truly want to troubleshoot it fully and correctly.

Next, boot the computer into safe mode with networking. It has to be "with networking". Try again. Change regions while in safe mode with networking. If you see better results, it could be a process causing the issue in a normal boot, as this is just a test to use in order to troubleshoot. Aha, So a tried a couple of regions, to no avail, then I went into network settings, and found an error screen, 'Windows cannot access the specified device.. So this leads me to beleive I do not have full control of the router or my computer for that matter in some ways..

I really have no idea how to google this issue just yet, but I'm gonna try, Ideas? Last edited by MichaelEUkari ; 27 Nov, pm.
