There doesnt seem to be any way for me to fix this. I’ve also never had any speed issues when downloading on the console, neither on previously ADSL or on the NBN currently. And yet the downloader of FFXIV (PC) downloads with a rate of about 1.04MB/s. Instead I see a lot of activity between my console and Limelight servers hosted by Telstra (my ISP). However, after saying that, I also happen to be a proud owner of a PS4 and upon checking my network logs I don’t see any connections to either of those two subnets mentioned by Mr McDonald. Secondly, while what this article is encouraging may seem harmless, without comment from Sony or one of its subsidiaries there is no way to know whether the routing of traffic offshore is by design or not there may be a very good reason why content is not served first by a local content source…. And I closed everything making use of the connection except the updater and Steam.
I’d like to make two cautions here, firstly the CDN is a shared service, meaning by blocking those particular IP addresses (plural) you may be inadvertently disrupting other services on your network. Earlier today I was downloading the pre-heavensward patch at over 1 MB/s, Heavensward is downloading for me at a speed below 0,1MB/s, when according to Speedtest my downloading speed is over 11 MB/S. The 203.26.28.0/24 subnet also mentioned in the video is owned by TPG Telecom who aquired Limelight Networks as a customer though their takeover of AAPT in 2013 so we can put two and two together and determine that Limelight’s CDN is involved and ‘could’ be to blame (perhaps more for architectural reasons than technical).
This particular IP range is owned by Limelight Networks, the CDN which has hosted PlayStation Network and other Sony Interactive Entertainment content since 2007. ive tryed running as admin, upping priority in task manager, restarting my internet, downloading from a different pc, having FiveM install to different places, tested to see if it was just my download speed (its not). It is unfortunate that the author and/or Kotaku failed to mention this, even if only for the interest of public disclosure.Īdditionally, the “IP address” 111.119.22.0/24 is actually a subnet, NOT an IP address. “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing”įirst of all, this is against the PlayStation Network Terms of Service as it is deliberate act of network disruption between the console and servers.
