UPLOAD SPEED DISPLAYED IS INCORRECT. WHY? 

This has been driving me nuts. Thank you for the video. Just tried it myself.

Thought it was just me who's crazy 🤣🤣 been driving myself nuts trying to fix this issue and now I know I'm not the problem TY

YES THANK YOU!! The wifi getting stronger down and up speeds compared to my CAT5 Ethernet cable was driving me crazy! I was trying multiple cables and yet the LAN kept showing from 4.2 MB to 8.1 MB. And that's with the DNS changed to stronger lines. Thank you for explaining this because i was about to give a lecture to my AT&T company!😅

@vypermajik I got the same speeds with my ps5 when I got my xfinity 10g fiber to home internet. my series x showed the correct speeds. thank you for verifying I am not the only one getting this.

100% exactly to the tea is happening with me. I was about to set up my AI mesh and I wanted to check everything and I ran into this problem. Thank you very much for your information. It’s very frustrating and you are absolutely 100% correct

wow! thank you for this video, I was really concerned about it because from a 200mbs upload speed I was getting 6/9mbs.

UK here 🇬🇧 I've noticed this issue recently. I usually get my full throughput speed D/L & U/L via the PlayStation network test. However, in the last week or so I've noticed my upload has dropped by a third on the test, and is now continuously not giving me an accurate indication of my actual upload speed. I have conducted speed tests via my ISP, browser speed tests, and other devices: XBSX, tablets PC, etc. which all give me readings in line with what I pay for. The PlayStation network test is the exception.

You have answered the one question I've been trying to figure out this whole time! Its a siny UI developer issue and not my fiber...

Thank you for making a straight to the point video and also showing us how to get to the browser. My upload speed was around 18 Mbps as it should be but then has all of a sudden dropped to 2.2 which is affecting gameplay. We're in the 21st century and meant to be gaming on the next gen systems with up to date technology. But you see this far too often with big companies be it apple or sony where they're charging us high prices all the while giving us limited tech! Even the cpu and gpu in the ps5 sucks for the era we're living in. They do this for one reason only and that's to make money! But what do u expect when ppl follow like sheeps without making it heard, so props for making such a video. Btw apple released the original iphone which was way behind other phones that were out in the market years before. I'm sure the original phone didn't even have a calculator lmao and facetime... wow what a revolution when video calling was out over a decade before lmao the sheeple! Apple do have the smoothest of touch screen though since day one. I know this wasn't a video about other brands but in reality this issue we're having falls under the wider umbrella of these companies scams!

Also having this issue. What makes this even worse is that when you use PS Remote Play, the connection is determined by your PS upload speed from my understanding. So even though I have 1GB internet up and down I can't remote play at 1080p because it autos to 720p from my PS5 upload speed.

Thank you bro, i had exactly the same problem, I've tested it with several routers, tested on different internet providers, called to internet provider support. And now thanks to your video I've figured out it is a problem with sony software....

FINALLY I've found someone going through the same exact issue directly connected. I have 1gb as well . Ilso can't upload any videos for some reason. If I capture gameplay and try to share it with someone its always an error msg saying can't upload

I have had this issue for the past year as well and it’s frustrating af. I have searched far and wide and no one has an actual fix for it. All we can do is wait for Sony to fix their network

Thank you so much, that hidden browser was a life saver and all my stress trying to figure this out is now gone. Upload and download speed on the browser is 921/915. On the Sony test, 825/30. Its crazy.

At last peace of mind nights without restless sleep. Thanks brother

The best video. You explain it all, thanks 👍🙂

Thank you so much for this video it really has helped me today 😊

I’m so glad to see your video. Same issue. Hardwired connection, 900 mbps download, 50 mbps upload. It’s incredibly frustrating

Jesus, Thank-you mate, I was getting 930mbs download and upload speed. All of a sudden I was getting 10 mbs upload and I was going mental

My internet blames sony

Thanks for that driving me nuts to the upload speed 🤯

Recently i started getting the same problem. I can’t even get in a lobby on some games. Weirdest thing off all is that it only happens in the evening.

Thanks for this. It was driving me crazy. Ps5 says less than 10Mbs. Ookla says 941Mbs

Bro I have been wondering for the last couple weeks why my upload was so slow. I also have 1 gig from AT&t and my upload kept coming up around 50. I tried this and it was like 800 to 900 lol I have been so frustrated over this. Thank you!

same exact problem ... sony gotta have someone come by the office, give em a real good reality check.

damn man this has been killing me. thank you so much i just tried it and youre dead right 🙏

finally someone with the same problem...i have this problem with ps4 nd thought they have given me a broken piece

Hey, I am having the same issue, very slow upload speeds, multiple comments suggest Sony is actually throttling upload speed, if this is the case why not switch to a PC gaming computer. Just asking. PS, currently trying to play with 200 ms pin, have seriously thought about going over to PC….

I have the same problem. When upload worked at max, today only 6 mb ... I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Thank you !! I'm not crazy 😂😂. Thanks for the help much appreciated 👍

From Saudi Arabia, same fuckin problem.

Wow thank you for this video it's working.

Glad I found this as I was researching but let's also consider that this tester might be working correctly and it's actually the PlayStation servers that are the bottle necks. I'm guessing that is the case here. Wish Sony would make that clear so we all not confused.

This is what's messing my Street Fighter 6 online experience up, cause it'll tell the people my connection is horrible and they simply reject my fight request 😔 I'm always in the red on that game but I have an above decent internet installed.

Thanks for video man it's only happening to my ps5 console when my ps4 is connected it's totally fine

I thought this was just cosmetic. But it's not! I'm getting 800dl/ 6.5 up. And my ping is mid 40's . I'm getting shot around corners like I'm on dial up! Ridiculous!!

I m in 2024 and still have the same issue , any news how to fix it , coz games like COD or even FiFA is impossible to play online.

I have the Same Problems. Best regards from Germany!

Same problem! Contacted my provider and they said is Sony problem!

You have to change the PS5s MTU to get the most data thru. I think it's defaulted at 5-600. Need to up it to the suggested 1472. This is the max packet usage. Don't set it higher because it will be unusable when gaming (tons of packet loss). If on PC, look up how to find your optimal MTU for your setup. As all consoles are basically the same system, this number should be universal. If you experience bad latency on console, dive into your model and find the best MTU for your console. This also needs to be done in your modem/router. You can set your MTU to max on the PS5, but if your router/modem setup is capped below that it won't help. Get on your modems page, find the max MTU (RU-vid guides are a plenty), then set your console to ITS max MTU. Hope this helped.

You know I'm glad i saw this video because i had my internet provider going nuts with the same situation 😅 so the question is how do u fix this ????

you are absolutely right🤔

I ve got 100 mbit upload Ps4 3-5 mbit upload max Ps5 10 upload max And most of my friends has the same frustration it actually effect the games i play incredibly

I‘ve got the same problem it‘s so embarassing 1.9 mbit/s upload speed instead of 25

I’m having the exact same issue, PS showed really low upload(6.5mbps) but I did secret browser thing you did and it’s 20mbps

OMG exactly how i feel about my playstation my upload speed sucks and i have really good internet smh

Been using ps5 for the past 6 months and didnt have an issue with network. Had great up and down speed. Until 2 weeks ago i upgraded my network from my provider and my game started lagging (which i have never experienced before) and shocked to find a 2 digit up speed. I clearly recall a 3 digit up speed (should be more than 200) before the upgrade. The provider tech engineer came today and couldn't justify my problem as speed test on PC showed 900 up and down. Now im stuck. Its frustrating

I've had the issue since last week. The best I could find was altering the bandwith to 5ghz (I was only getting around 100-700kbps until then) but I still have only had a max of 6.2 upload speed, though it's mostly between 3-5mbps though my download's fine. I was wondering if it was down to school holidays with the increase of online usage and Sony's restricted it on their end like they did through the pandemic. It's the only thing I could think of. Still frustrating as I had done a couple of streams last week with no issues.

I also have ATT Fiber and been on phone with them last 2 days. They even sent a new router. Still no change. It's definitely a ps5 issue because my old ps4 on wifi has better upload speed.

Called PlayStation today and their tech support insist it’s the ISP fault and they charge 299$ for us to send it and take a look at it. Which is ridiculous. It cost almost as much as buying a new one. Really upset about it. First we tried so hard to secure one during the pandemic then we had to endure the defective machine.

Hey I want to thank you so much for giving awareness to this issue everything I’ve searched to vids have all been use these dns settings it’s bs it does nothing I generally get around the same download when I’m doing a speed test on Sonys built in network speed test yet my download is only 2-4mbps!! When I should be getting 16-18mbps my ps4 never had this issue and I’m glad I am not the only one with this issue I thought my ps5 was faulty and I didn’t wanna send it back as they are very hard to get and I paied quite a bit for it when I do a test using the ps we’d browser use shows normal speeds that I get on all my other devices are you still having the same issue ??

I will point out that the test is likely testing the connection to a Sony server. AKA it would not matter if you have higher speed connecting to a external server. And the kicker is that all the videos and voice chats you connect to likely have to go through those servers.

I m calling sony in France next week for the same issue that was driving me nuts recently.

Italy here, i have the 2.5 gb ftth, almost 1700 download and 600 upload on EVERY device i have, on my ps5 i reach 900 download and 10 upload 😅

Hello. I have the same problem 😢. Its any solution to this? I run a cat8 lan cable and thinking to buy a cat6 because they say its better for ps5. Many thanks!

I'm not the only one, thank you.

I just moved into a new apartment & I've been having this problem at my old apartment, I was having this problem with two different internet companies 👀

This is 100% accurate and extremely frustrating I can't play MLB The Show competitively because of this. Whenever upload speeds are in the single digits my timing is off no matter what adjustments I make. I also have extremely fast internet yet this garbage ( next Gen system) states otherwise. People will argue this however The Show gameplay runs on upload speeds. Bottom line is that Sony needs to come up with some kind of system update to correct this.

I have the same issue .I get 1Mbps and I paid for 250 Uploading speed. it works everyone but not at the test internet connection of PS5. and I'm lagging wayy to much in my games.

Did this ever get figured out, it’s such a issue my internet already not good and it’s been putting me in the kmbs or whatever it’s called and gaming is unplayable at some points

I have the ps5 since Day 1 never had this problem till 4 weeks ago from 700up to if lucky 5 up 😌

I'm sure its because the playstation network servers are limited and capped for certain ISP's and area's of the world.

800 up 3mb down here?? Speed test on secret browser on ps5 shows 800 down and 110mb down so not a network issue at my end. Has only happened recently. Micro stuttering and rubber banding in game is driving me crazy.

I have the same problem, i have tried every kind of support online but no one seems to find a solution. Did you manage to fix this, if so can you please tell me how?

The same thing happening with me now recently. I don’t think I had this problem couple months ago. But now my upload speed keeps showing 12mbps everytime I test. I have a lot of trouble with streaming unfortunately with this :(

I just done exactly what you done there with Hyperoptic in the uk showing 850mbps download and 11.6mbps upload when test internet connection. When I linked you tube account and clicked on privacy and then the dots to click Google search went to speed test ookla and I had 910.58mbps download and also 832.92mbps upload I see exactly what you mean thanks so much I was pulling my hair out and even hyperoptic advised then didn’t know after a new router why was showing this. They also said they have a system issue where they cannot access my router remotely to configure. So awaiting to see resolution to that internal system issue

This issue happens to me put when i play on my brother network was working so I guess the problem is from the network because I raise my download and up load and still the sam problem

I have the same problem with new ISP. Is any fix for that?

It’s only a display glitch because when I monitored my upload bandwidth on the router it was at 500mbps but the ps5 was displaying 7

Im going nuts here, is there a fix already. This is something that happend to me like couple weeks back and still is going on like this. Why is this happening, because not only does it show in screen, ingame it also acts shit. Getting 500 down 10 up….

I cant believe how many people have the same problem, i thought it was my internet until i saw this. Sony seems to not care about this.

I have very slow internet averaging around 15-5 mbps download do to were I live made it very had for gaming so I bought a Ethernet cable in hopes to increase my speed it did I was very excited to see it go to about 20-25 mbps but my upload is sitting at around 2-.1 mbps it’s literally dropping to kbps and I didn’t even know what was a thing

Hello, been encountering this issue recently. I too have searched forums and posts for hints on how to fix it to no avail. Did anyone ever manage to find a solution? 🤔

Still having this EXACT issue today

I am also using 1g connection and when I run test my upload speed sucks but it used to be higher than download speed. I am thinking it is something to do with update on the system software.

I’d be very curious to hear if computer using gamers or anyone who has the PS Plus Extra or PS Premium subscriptions have any of the same upload issues the rest of us are having….. Confirming ‘upgraded plan subscribers’ don’t have this issue would pretty much spell out exactly what might be the cause of our issues (I’m just an essential subscriber)…. Which would suggest rather strongly they are intentionally capping speeds so as to get users to upgrade to more costly plans, which in turn increase their profits…. Hopefully this isn’t just a case of greed on their part and there is actually just an unintentional problem they are trying to address

I have a friend who has connection issues sometimes and recently he upgraded to 1000/1000 and was still having issues every now and then. He did the speed test and it showed he was getting 1mbp upload, it’s been months and every now and then I would make fun of his upload but I tested mine when I have 600/600 and it say I am getting 3-7 upload 😂 Makes no sense at all

ATT and Sony have beef, the upload issue actually causes problems in online games sometimes it just losses connection. I just got the fiber and my XBOX runs perfect but the PS5 upload speed is like 25mbps and my download are 950+. I just switched from Xfinity who wasn’t giving me the same speed but at least the upload was consistent. For fiber to have a dynamic download and upload doesn’t even make sense though, it’s supposed to be static. I read some article that the CEOs of Sony and ATT had issues so I guess they compromise each other with this connection game.

I’m currently having same issue, Fibre 1.2Gig download 100 upload but upload is 2.2Mb 😩 only noticed last couple of weeks how doodoo it’s been

I have this problem as well and I'm also on fiber

Very interesting video, thank you! I get the same sort of results by doing this. What I still don’t quite understand though is: what does this actually mean? Are we totally fine and is it just the build in speed test giving the wrong numbers, or is there a clear signal going into the PS5 but can’t we benefit the speed for PSN/streaming games? In other words, is there an actual problem?

Cant even play a damn game of fifa without lagging every 4 seconds

It wasn’t the case when the ps5 just came out 3 yrs ago, i think they have change something through serveral updates

That's a hell of fast speed. Wish I could afford that. But honestly how much would it really matter when Sony's upload speed sucks. I myself am supposed to get up to 30MB upload speed, but the most I get on average is anywhere from KB to 5MB upload speed. My PS4 is the only device in the home that has these issues. To top it off when asking for help from T-Mobile or Sony, they say I don't know what's going on, and they tell me to go through all the lame ass tests I've already done, and then they say oh well it must be the other provider's fault. My neighborhood is supposedly surrounded by five 5G towers and I just recently learned that there's been a scam going on in the US where the towers are actually 4G and just under a different name like 5G E. In other words the 5G we have in the US is just as slow as 4G. We're being scammed just like everything else that happens in this country and the rest of the world. I hate corporations so much.

Always been like that for ps they only allow a capped upload for online gaming. There is no fix only thing u can do is get a stable one by doing custom dns. They don't cap download cause u have to get updates from them and games so the speed had to be higher but to pay online I have business internet and I get my 2g download but up is always 20-30mbs.. That's why our pings suck and our systems are slower in online gaming and we die from fps issues faster. It's lame but until we find a way around their protocol for uplo we are sol

Wow dude! I'm French and I faced the same issue than yours today. Your video reassured me because I've just been be fiberized. I have a dl of 500 Mb/s and an ul of 500 Mb/s. The bandwidth test of my console tells me I have a dl of 490 Mb and an ul of... 6 Mb. 🤔 So the PS5 bandwidth test feature seems to suck, however, *does it mean the console restrains the upload or is it just a bug?*

yeah, don't get it. Had same results after following the vid. Pay for 500/500, was displaying 500/9, now shows 500/500 on ookla test. Thanks for that. Which brings up another question, Why does PS5 NOT have a specific console browser that can be surfed? Why do we have to find a side door?

I think this is happening with ps4 as well. Having the same issue. 40 mbps down 2.5 mbps up (supposed to be 40) And testing it in browser (on external server) shows 40/40

Same issue. i got it up a little with a nighthawk router, went from 9.9 to 17. wih the same dns settings as you.. I didnt try to set the port forwading yet. im looking into it that how i came across your video

Crazy shit. Me and my wife both have ps5s. Att 1g fiber. Modem is in the same room. 700 to 800 download. 8.5 upload. Idk what's going on man. Both ps5s same issue. Is it sony with att maybe?

Hi, same issue here. There are times when my upload speeds drops down to 100kb while upload are around 500 mb

I have this problem for a week now, my internet provider's technician sent me this video.. This video is 1 year old now, is there any more info yet?

Has anyone found the issue with this problem because I’m having the same problem with my PS5? I get 1000up and down through fibre but I’m only getting 9.5 Mb on PlayStation. I plugged the same ethernet cable into Xbox series X and I’m getting over 800 upload speeds it’s absolutely shocking

Yup does the same for me

@vypermajik same problem facing bro any solutions?

thanks i had same issue!!!!

⁠ I have the same problem 40-50 upload to 5 it actually doesn’t make sense that my PS4 has a better connection than my PS5 makes me so mad.

I appreciate this video because im suffering from this name and it pisses me off because i play mmos like FF14 amd pso2NGS and i keeps lagging like wtf

And the actual upload speed that we will get is the speed from Sony’s Built-in speedtest. Crazy Sony

Sony issue, been loosing my mind looking for some type of source and I can’t find any. Only best thing I would recommend if you are with an ISP that lets you use your own router and modem. I would go for the SB8200 MODEM and a nighthawk router preferably Xr500 or Xr1000 you will see your upload hit 20s but that’s about it Idk what other tips
