Jesus lord what is wrong with this network?

Bloodborne is 14GBs On Xbox Life it would not take me an hour to download this, yet 45 minnutes in and yet im barely past 300 fucking megabytes.


This is my connection


Is this shit normal?

What a fucking pleb.

That's hardly the point

Shoulda seen the four day odessy it took for me to download 80 gigs of gourdians.

I've had this shitty cheap-ass Internet connection for years (my download speed is slightly worse than yours), yet when I download a large game or update on PS4, it doesn't take any time at all. It only took ~35 minutes to download an 8 gigabyte update for Street Fighter, and the Nier demo only took about ~15.

Maybe don't blame your personal problems on the service itself, you fucking spastic, because not everyone has it as bad as you. Sorry. Apparently you just suck.

thats pretty good i think

even 15 is enough to stream 1080p video these days

on a side note those tests usually pick closest servers instead of the actual servers you download from, so youd always have a pretty high speed

youre actually probably downloading your games and stuff through several different servers, some of those servers might be better than others, some might be worse, its possible someone half the world away from the server might have better download speeds than you, depending on your ISP it can be a lottery on how well it does this

a better test might be to select some server in germany for EU or iirc US servers probably in california somewhere

it still won't be an accurate test but probably a better measure than what you're getting through a server less than 50 miles away

It's still worse than the OP's.

And there's mine. Pisses me off. While my family a few miles south of me gets up to 60+ Mb/s But it's "not available" in my area. Fucking bullshit.

I had the same situation in Jew York fam. Was a solid 3 days to download the Destiny Beta when that was a thing. I know your pain

I only used it because the OP used it. So according to the same test he used, my download speed is about the same as his, if not slightly worse.

Yet, apparently, by the time it takes him to download 300 megabytes of a 14 gigabyte game (~45 minutes), I'd already have the game fully downloaded. That's still unexplained. Apparently I'm in this minority where PSN is godly, and for everyone else, it's the worst thing ever.

i explained it

speeds dont mean anything through your closest server because youre likely downloading from somewhere several hundred miles away and you dont know what kind of data centres or such you go through with your ISP, and just as well someone on the other side of the earth could download faster than you

again its a lottery

if it works well for you, good

if it doesnt for others, unlucky for them

plus you might not be in the minority, people who are met with faulty service are more likely to be vocal about it over people with things working exactly how it should

i dont think i would be as compelled to give feedback if all i could say was "this works exactly as i expected it to"

If it's a lottery, then why do people keep blaming PSN directly for their problems?

That makes sense.

probably cause they dont know much about networking

neither do i but its never just a simple a-b connection and from my experience could vary wildly with location and ISP

And there's mine. Pisses me off. While my family a few miles south of me gets up to 60+ Mb/s But it's "not available" in my area. Fucking bullshit.

if you can afford to lay those miles of fibre optic cable i dont see why not

Its not always a matter of affordability. Sometimes your area doesn't have it. In my case I have Charter as my ISP and they claim to have fiber optic cables, yet my internet is fast but not as fast as Droid's internet. Mainly because I live in California and shit is expensive as fuck here just for decent internet alone.

that was rhetoric
it would probably cost several thousands

Our plan is $60 a month here. And that's just for regular decent cable internet that's not slow as balls like DSL.

I'm at least happy that it works and its decent.

i was talking about how much it would cost to lay several miles of fibre optic cable

thats why its not available in their area

their ISP or council has to invest in the infrastructure of that area to allow them to have access to fibre optic and that would cost several thousands
