Some ISPs throttle download speeds for gaming. Use a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi for faster downloads and avoid peak hours if you can.
Honestly, PSN speed issues are often due to Sony's servers. It happens more frequently during big game releases or updates.
The culprit could be your internet connection or PSN server congestion. Try pausing and resuming the download. It sometimes gives it a boost!
There's a trick! Change your DNS settings to Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). It won't hurt to give it a go.
