No matter what combination we tried, whether it be wired, wireless, or direct to modem, the PS4 never recorded speeds over 40 MBps DL and 5 MBps UL. The XB1 actually went OVER the 100, (it hit 112 MBps DL one one test), and the X360, when hardwired, hit the 100 DL speed as well. We did extensive testing on the network, and almost all of the devices recorded 100 MBps DL speeds and around 40 MBps UL. And after those tests, we directly connected both consoles to the modem. That absolutely would affect your connection speeds if you're using WiFi, but for this test we had both the XB1 and the PS4 hardwired to the router. Even the Galaxy S4 (which is two years old) uses 802.11 ac, so Sony kind of skimped on their WiFi connecting hardware. Only the XB1 connects to the 5Ghz band, as M$ put the new 802.11 ac tech in the console, while Sony used last gen 802.11 b/g/n for their WiFi connection. On the other router is a hardwired Xbox One & PS4. On that particular router, the two phones use the 5Ghz band, and everything else uses the slower 2.3 Ghz. One on router we have 2 laptops, 2 smartphones (Galaxy S4 and S5), a WiiU and an XBox 360 connected. The normal 2.3 Ghz that connects with 802.11 b/g/n-at home. The new high speed 5 Ghz that connects with 802.11 ac, and 2. My ISP (Comcast) offers up 100 MBps DL/50 MBps UL network speed and my roomies and I have two Nighthawk routers-each router has two WiFi bands: 1. Also, I would like to preface this explanation that this isn't a hypothesis or a good guess, these are facts that came from testing and research done by network professionals (2 engineers, a network admin, and a multiplayer game developer), and an admission by a PS4 call center guy that tried to backtrack once I repeated what he had said to me. There's a two-fold answer explaining why our favorite console struggles with connection speeds, and it can easily be fixed by Sony/PSN/whomever is in charge of doing updates for the PS4. This is a very long post, but it's full of details that every PS4 owner should know about what's really going on behind the scenes with the PSN-PS4 connection.
