Trying to play online

I can't play online games on my PS4 it keeps saying my network delay might be too long for game streaming. So I tried the LAN and it still says the same thing 😭

Satellite internet has very high latency, and this affects some games. 

 

From their FAQ:

 

Will I be able to play console-based gaming?

 

Hughesnet is not recommended for console-based gaming activities because they quickly consume your Priority Data.

 

Can I play online games with Hughesnet?

Online games where you take turns, such as casino or chess, turned-based role-playing games and Facebook games work well with all plans.

 

Will I be able to play real-time gaming with Hughesnet?

 

Multiplayer games requiring rapid response are only supported with Hughesnet Fusion plans. However, console-based gaming is not recommended with any service plans because they quickly consume your Priority Data.
