    The packet loss is a result of a bad routing that your connection has to take to get to the server in Canada. VPN services like Battleping and WTFast reroute the connection around the bottleneck and solve packet loss, but they are not free and are designed for PC. Utilizing them on PS4 is technically possible, but rather convoluted. A google search for "ps4 vpn" will start you in the right direction if you want to take the plunge.

    Well, it could also be from faulty wires/equipment in your home or from your local ISP. Have you tried using http://www.pingtest.net/
    Does it show packet loss?

    Are you sure its related to your ps4? For the last week or so we've been getting pretty bad stutter type lag in the game, both on the ps4 and the laptop. Usually around prime time like you said.

    I hear it is possble if you run it on s PC and then route that through a wifi signal to share your internet(and the VPN). Havent tried though.

    I have Comcast, but I never had this problem until immediately after maintenance the other day. so whatever they did it was on their end.
