Just download a PS5 game with your PS5 connected to your router.
Justified.
- edent 5mo agoIn my experience, the Sony servers can barely saturate a 500Mbps pipe.
- znpy 5mo agoThey most likely can, but they purposely don’t.
- BoredPositron 5mo agoI get barely 250 in europe.
- doubled112 5mo agoSteam will near saturate a 1Gb pipe for me. I have downloaded quite a few Linux ISOs from mirrors at 90MB/s.
- Ekaros 5mo agoI think that is more so due to overhead in writing files and most likely also doing some live decompression or some other stuff. After all it does not download single file like iso would be.
- TylerE 5mo agoIt actually isn't all that different. A lot of modern games are basically a smallish exe and a single giant Assets file that's many many GB, and is some sort of encrypyted (or not) filesystem image.
- queenkjuul 5mo agoThis is surprising to me: I've seen Steam peak around 1500 on my connection. Linux ISOs from cloud mirrors (like DO) can hit closer to 2gbps. Bittorrent downloads of Ubuntu ISOs sometimes hit 2gbps
- sandworm101 5mo agoI think your local ssd cache is the only thing being saturated.
- TylerE 5mo agoMy experience too. For some reason the Sony servers are terrible. I'm lucky to see 100Mbps speeds, and that's on a gigabit link.
- abujazar 5mo agoThat's due to your ISP's peering, not the server.
- garganzol 5mo agoExactly this. ISPs are tricky players when it comes to peering. A typical symptom: servers in local region/country can easily saturate the connection, when anything external gets cropped down to 20-50% of a declared full speed.
- edent 5mo agoOk, so what? Whether it is the server, the ISP, the CDN, or whatever - if I can't utilise the speed, what's the point?
- Daviey 5mo agoSupply and demand, why would they bother improving the infrastructure if people can't use it? Either be an early adopter, and help progress or sit at the back and wait.
