Hi, welcome to the forum Thomas! First off, what speeds do you usually get? Try a speed test on a wired PC (with Bandwidth Allocation reset and Anti-Bufferbloat set to 'never'). What speeds do you get then?

[thomas]

around 700

Hey, welcome to the forum!

So PC gets 700 download, what about upload? 

How do you have your PS4 connected, via ethernet or WiFi? If ethernet what cables are they?

[thomas]

ethernet and yeah upload is 45

What are your QoS settings? Do you have share excess enabled for bandwidth allocation, both download & upload? Are you testing using the console settings or from a browser

test with the nighthaenk app and browser. i have about 30% going to my ps4 but when i look at the  network snapshot it saying it getting the lows bandwidth.

Ah right. I wouldn't worry too much about that - the Network Snapshot is showing what your PS4 is actually using, not what it's been allocated. Games only need to use <0.5mbps bandwidth, so your console will always show a teeny tiny amount on the Network Snapshot. (That is, unless you're downloading a game!)
