Doesn't work like that, it is PTCL's record that is messed up. They don't change the line profiles, now why they don't do it? Wrong record/Load/Overlooked by the TAC guys.

Coming to OP's question, it is highly likely that your lineprofile is set to 4mbps and when lets say their 'firewall' goes down that limits speeds to a subscribers username than you start getting 4mbps speeds. As soon as it goes back up and you restart your modem or your internet disconnects you'll be back to your original subscribed speed.

    I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.
    170 + countries where Steam sells but PSN doesn't will lose access unless they use VPN

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.
    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
