Remove the upload speed cap on Playstation 5

The Issue

I'm tired of lagging. I'm tired of doing a speed test and seeing my upload speed is 3mbs and it's suppose to be 500 mbs. I pay for better internet so I won't lag, so my online experience is a fun one that doesn't feel dramatically different from an offline experience. People are affected because they pay $100 or more for internet a month and are getting the same experience from their PS5 as a guy who is paying $25 a month.

If Sony removes the cap on upload speed players with better internet will have a better time gaming, the ones who have weak internet will have to get a better connection which would mean more money for ISPs. If things stay as they are then people might switch to XBox or PC to get the expereince they are paying for.

We need Sony to fix this as its just not fair to us who pay more for the internet. If you don't believe me that upload speed helps you here is a quote from ChatGPT on the subject. 

"Yes, upload speed can be important on a PlayStation 5, especially if you're playing online multiplayer games or streaming content. When you're playing online games, a faster upload speed can help ensure that your gameplay experience is smooth and that you're not experiencing lag or other connection issues that can make it harder to play the game effectively."
