Does this hold true for PS4 as well? Too lazy to download something right now, I'm on fiber.

Is not that the PS5 is fast rather than the PS4 being slow. Slower than a Xbox One for some obscure reason.

I love it. I'm loving my PS5 as a whole.
The xbox was already on a decent place last gen when it came to QOL and now is just a lot faster but oh boy, the PS5 is world's apart from the PS4, terrific upgrade. In love with the console so far.

I only have 250 down but I just downloaded Genshin Impact to my external SSD and it felt like 2 minutes. I didn’t time it but it was fast as fuck

I'm getting really good speeds.. I have gigabit and use wireless and was downloading at a rate of about a gigabyte per minute.

This is going to sound like warring I know but it is my experience. I noticed my downloads/installs for the PS5 are significantly faster than the XBSX. After downloading a few games on the Series X I was surprised at how fast a game downloaded on my PS5. It might be something else at play on my network but I didn't do anything any different for either console. I just set them up on the network.

There's definitely more than just "oh wow SSDs are fast" going on. I think Sony did some network upgrades on their end, and perhaps these upgrades are only accessible to PS5 owners.

Some of it is on the hardware end regarding the PS5 as I’ve mentioned earlier in the thread. The network interface hardware on the PS5 is much better, but Sony definitely had to increase throughput on their end as well.
So it’s likely a combination of factors but strongly influenced by better hardware and past (justified) criticisms on their shitty download speeds.

Genshin Impact |OT| Legend of Gacha: The Whale Waker (free-to-play action RPG)
Three things to get out of the way first: 1) You do not need to spend money to enjoy this game. In fact, here is a list of reasons why you shouldn't spend money on Genshin Impact. 2) When you first start wishing, only use the Beginners' banner for your first 20 wishes. If you don't do this...
Be sure to visit the OT, and let us know if you have any questions.

During launch my PS4 speeds were also capping out my limits. They were blazing fast. Later on they started to become shit and throttled.

I've always had pretty good speeds on PSN. Maybe not that it fully saturates my 100 Mbps connection, but at least several MB/s most of the time.

Its seriously fast, redownloaded all of COD MW packs and updates in an hour last night.
Really impressed with the speed of this thing.

Sent some games to download while my PS5 was in rest and caught these speeds in my Google app:
