I don't get my full speed on PS4 network. I get around 47mb's.. I'm usually at 63mb's usually.

There is a couple of things you could try;

1. Have you tried temporary disabling your anti virus program and then selecting to test connection on the ps4's network settings mention?

2. Though I haven't had to open any ports myself, these are the ports to open for the playstation network;

When you do test the speed using the ps4 (Go to Settings -> Network -> Test Internet Connection) what speed does it say?

Some things I've done was to turn off UPNP on the router. I've never liked UPNP and it has caused problems in the past with games.

I'm connected via a Lan cable. I setup the IP address manually, giving my ps4 a static ip address. The MTU is set to 1492, and NAT type is 2.

ok I did some more digging after getting the same issue with my ps4.

I found a few things out although I cant say this is 100% accurate as my info is based on what I read on other sites such as neogaf.

The first thing is the wifi interface on the ps4 is not very good, its 2.4ghz only and seems to struggle to even match comparable 2.4ghz devices, so if using wifi you probably wont get great speds anyway.

However with that in mind my initial speeds still were way below what 2.4ghz can do and seemed to be rate limited to 3-5mbit/sec. Neogaf users were suggesting after the 2.10 update speeds plummeted and I noticed people were reporting success by using their own isp's dns servers (my proxy didnt help). When I reverted to plusnet's dns servers (my isp) speeds improved a lot although still wasnt great, I now am probably hitting the 2.4 wifi performance ceiling.

So an educated guess is this, sony have throttled all the generic download servers and only local isp cache servers can get the unthrottled speeds. Sioo if using google or opendns switch back to BT's dns servers. If using wifi switch to wired.

This is only an educated guess tho.

I use wireless but never get the full speeds either. I've always assumed it's the wireless ceiling but every other decide in the same spot manages.

I'm on Sky.

I think it's just the ps4 network and honestly most people won't overly analyse it.

Speed test result in PS4 browser using thinkbroadband.com speed tester...

Result

Speed test using PS4's built in network connection tester...

Result

Suggests an issue with PSN or the built in speed test - which seems to happen in a split second - so maybe it isn't particularly accurate.

that built in speedtester is completly useless I can tell by how quick it completes the data it downloads is far too small.

Please read my previous post for a possible reason.
