I've had my PS4 for about a year and half, and lived in my current home for about 9 months. When we moved in I setup Internet and all that jazz. Where I live there are a very limited amount of ISPs, even though I live downtown, in the largest city in my state. Anyways, the service would get shoddy from time to time and I would have to connect to an Xfinity wifi hotspot (one of the public ones ALL OVER the place). When I did, everything worked great. I would usually run around 10-13mbps download and 3-5 upload. After dealing with increasingly crappy service that I was paying for and spending 75-80% of the time connected to the hotspot anyways (since it worked way better), I decided to cancel my service and just use the hotspot. I hadn't had any problems for around 3 months... Then all of the sudden about 4 days ago, the hotspot started putting out between 0 and 50kbps (rarely anything higher, but maxed at about 70kbps). It's the same hotspot, it hasn't moved (I checked the location of it using their app and online). I bought a repeater/extender to try and boost the signal to my PS4, moved the PlayStation to different spots in the house, "forgot the network" and tried logging in again, among other things.. Now I know even though I'm about to say I don't need ppl stating the obvious like "sign up for your own dedicated Internet" etc etc, I'm sure someone will. Like I said, there are a VERY limited amount of ISPs where I live. I've had 2 of them, they NEVER worked, the third can only offer 1-2mbps max at my house, the fourth doesn't offer service where I live at all, and I DO HAVE AN APPT to set up service with the very last company that can offer service.. But the soonest they can get out here is 2 1/2 weeks from now. So yes, I'm getting another/new ISP, so let's not be childish. Anyways... suggestions on how to get the hotspot to connect and not run garbage speeds in the mean time?
