Imagine a PS4 that uses the same wifi as anything else in the house, but it downloads so much slower. I can’t figure this out, is the PS4 throttled intentionally, or is there something else going on? I don’t understand how it works.

Many factors affect download speeds. The PS4 has a wireless-N adapter where some modern devices have wireless-ac, which is much faster. The download origin is a factor as well. If a lot of players are currently downloading from Sony’s servers, you might not get as much bandwidth. The server could also be farther away than whatever other device you are comparing the PS4 to.
