PS5 Slow Upload Speed

Hey
As the title states, getting very slow upload speeds on my PS5 but download is fine

Use to get around 14-16 up but last night and today I’m getting g 2.7-3.5 up. Noticed when I was playing Fortnite and the game wasn’t running as smooth as it normally does. Now and then got a bit of a studder

I’m connected via Ethernet cable and all my other devices in the house are getting normal upload and download speeds

Anyone else experiencing this?

  • You say the ethernet cable is connected. Is that a direct from Router to PS5 or does it run through a patch wall plate or an ethernet over power adaptor?

  • How did you test

    • PS5 Settings like I always do

      Just the other week maybe a bit longer when I last tested I was getting 14-16 up

      Yesterday and today 2.5-3.7 up

  • Uploading what?

    Could be a server issue.

    I’ve had no issues playing online all morning

    • Just the speed test in the ps5 settings, the upload speed is slow

      If you can, test yours and let me know what you get

      • Does it matter?

        I mean is your game stuttering or something?

        • Last night it wasn’t bad but I did get every now and then a stutter like playing on a switch but not as bad

  • What traffic was going through on the network? What's your NBN speed? And did you do a speed test on other devices to confirm that "normal" was as expected?

    Maybe look at prioritisation on the router as well.

    • Yes done a speed test on my Mac everything god good up and down

      Only thing is the PS5 upload speed is slow as I said the other week fine

      I’m on 100/20

  • Could just be Sony servers. They're not great in Aus.

    Maybe worth checking you're not on NAT3.

    • I’m on Nat2

  • I had similar last week. I don’t tear often but my plan is 250/25 and my upload was down to 8 on PS5. I also had some issues playing Fortnite with a few complete disconnects. At the time I did some speed tests on the Nvidia Shield Pro (it’s connected in the same manner as the PS5) and my upload was 20.

    I played a few games on the weekend and had no issues.

    I haven’t don’t another speed test.

    • I’m getting 248 down and 11.4 up today
      Edit: That was via the the inbuilt speed test

      I did one via speedtest.net and that was 255 up and 22 down

      So it’s Sony’s servers

  • Just did another speed test and now it’s up to 6.4 which is better but not my normal 16 I was getting a few weeks back when I tested

    It must be the PSN servers I’m guessing as all my other devices get the normal upload speed

  • Yeah seeing the same thing here, is an upstream issue of some kind.

    • Just tested and got 10.1 so hopefully it’s on its way back up 🤞
