When I started to download First Light it said 4 hours, I just clicked on the download to show the download status bar and it jumped up to 47 minutes. User Info: Howatizer. The PS4 throttles your connection for sure. I am not surprised that rest mode may increase the DL speeds.
As of Sept. I expect the recognition and respect this title should be shown. TrueBlue91 posted Well, it was 50 down and 5 up until ATT realized they didn't have enough bandwidth to give everyone their paid for appends so they reduced my speed down to kbps without notifying me and when I called to complain they said the best they offer in my area a city of , people is only 6mbps and since its in the middle of my contract I couldn't cancel without paying a huge fee and waiting days for some other company to come by and hook it all back up.
So yeah, life's been a pain since then. Wow, that's harsh. I honestly couldn't cope with those speeds. But your previous speed was pretty damn good, so it must have been a horribly jarring change.
It most certainly was. Rest assured ATT won't be getting any future business from me once my contract is up. I couldn't believe it was even legal for them to make such a drastic change.
Yeah, I loved my 50 connection. You can also maximize speed by downloading 1 game at a time, and by staying off your PS4 while the game is downloading. If your download still seems to be taking a long time, try pausing and resuming it, or using an Ethernet cable to connect your console directly to your modem or router.

Tips and Warnings. Related Articles. Article Summary. Part 1. Avoid downloading more than one item at once. As with any console, downloading multiple items at once will slow down the collective download speed for all items. You will achieve the best results by downloading items—particularly games—one at a time. Don't play online while your download is active. Not only will playing online during an active download hinder your online experience due to lag, it will also slow down the item's download speed.
Pause and then resume your download. This is the download equivalent of turning off your computer and then turning it back on. If your download is taking a long time to initiate or proceed, pausing and then resuming it may increase the download speed. Check the terms of your Internet contract. The problem may be with your Internet service, not the console itself; for example, if you aren't approved for download speeds above a certain capacity e.
Keep in mind that Internet speed is often measured in mega bits per second, not mega bytes per second. Upgrading your plan or switching to a better Internet Service Provider will most likely fix any capacity problems. Check the limitations of your modem and router. Cheap modems and routers tend to distribute limited amounts of bandwidth; just because you're paying for a certain download speed doesn't mean you're getting it.
If your modem supports less bandwidth than does your Internet service, consider upgrading your equipment. Make sure your Wi-Fi network isn't crowded. If you're trying to download something on the same network as another device—be it a computer, a phone, or a console—your download speed will slow down as a result.
To solve this problem, try downloading when there's no one else in the house and no extra Internet items on your network. Use an Ethernet connection. While the PS4 has a competent wireless Internet receiver, plugging your console directly into your router or modem will always increase your Internet connection speed.
You'll need an Ethernet cable to do so. One end of your Ethernet cable should plug into the square port in the back of your PS4 while the other plugs into a similar port marked "Internet" on your modem or router. Ethernet cable ends are interchangeable. Update to the latest firmware. You'll be prompted to install this firmware automatically when you connect your PS4 to the Internet.
