Error… Cat invasion!
I don't know why everyone is posting their download and upload speeds. If I understand correctly, then this is only to reduce your ping.
So therefore it connects to a site faster. Where as speed tests download and upload a large file to determine your overall internet speed. Gaming is all about the ping anyway (which so many people misunderstand). You don't need 100mb line to get the best playing experience. Just a good ping. So this definitely does the job

Will namebench make large downloads faster?
Probably not.
While namebench may significantly increase the speed of every day websurfing, it will not increase the speed of large file downloads such as watching movies online. This is because your computer only has to perform DNS lookups to start the download of the movie. Once the download initiates successfully, your download performance is at the mercy of your internet provider.

You can get a better ping with MTU settings as you may be loosing packets or they are getting fragmented. I changed my MTU and the difference was night and day, if you want to find you best MTU use this tool ( You must login or register to view this content. ) sometimes it might be that you best is 1500 but most times its lower. If its lower then enter the number in MTU section of your PS4/PS3 and router.
