Been using 1mbps since forever and it's really slow/unstable during PS4 online sessions. I'm about to change it to 8mbps (unifi unavailable so I've got no choice).

Also can someone (those who are using 8mbps) tell me what your PS4 NAT type is? I heard someone said that they have NAT type 3 (which is bad for online gaming) when they are using the Streamyx 8mbps package due to TM private IP thingy.

If I choose PPPoE connection on my PS4 I can get NAT type 1? Can you explain the steps needed to make that PPPoE connection? Recently I'm getting NAT type 3 on my PS4 and I'm not sure what caused the change because previously my PS4 was always on NAT type 2.

I'm also using 1mb speed.

I'm facing the same issue with my 1mbps connection. I bet they have changed our previous IP (public IP = NAT 1/2) to private IP (NAT 3) without our knowledge. I heard it's because the world is running low on public IP so they are trying to reserve those for people who are using higher speed package. We who are still using 1mbps are not their priorities.

has got nothing to do with attitude my man. they aint gonna give you public IP just because you need it. they have a package for public IP and you need to pay extra if you need it. CCTV can easily be reached from outside using dynamic dns+portforwarding.

anyway, for the NAT thingy,

NAT1 = PS4 connected directly with public IP
NAT2 = PS4 being within private IP segment, NATed once by your home router
NAT3 = same case as above, but NATed twice. This can be caused by few things, but most obvious is you have a second router. If you don't then it's probably the configuration inside your home router, where its either setting up a virtual gateway for redundancy or segmenting your network, or could be number of other reasons.

But NAT type alone should be a problem for any of your PS online session, as long as you have good latency/bandwidth. They are more relevant when you using Remote Play from the internet, where you client need to find your PS4 to connect.

So if they give me private IP then it'd be NAT 3? Anyway, they usually give private IP de ar? Cuz nat 3 sucks and I really wish I'm not paying so much money for 8mbps and get NAT 3 lol
