You could have the fastest Internet in the world and you’re still dependent on the upload speeds of the source.

The upload speed from the source will almost certainly be more than the maximum read speed of the optical drive on say a PS5

  Thank you this is a much better reasoning than “my cache will do it.”

Which usually is close at max for me. if not, my cache does it.

    My question was how does your cache help with server bottlenecking. If it’s already in your cache it has already gone through the bottleneck at some point. You won’t have data cached for a game you’re downloading for the first time.
