99% it is not your PS4.
It's just mostly the server, or somebody else using the internet in your house.
I've downloaded from countless downloading sites and my download speed fluctuate like crazy.
Again it's highly unlikely that the problem is in your PS4 and most likely it's Sony servers fault.

In this case it's most likely not your PS4 it's like above said the server or multiple people using your net at once. 

 

If you were playing on a wireless connection it'd be different. The PS4 has a really shitty wireless adapter compared to other consoles(older ones at least, all my testing was done on original PS4's and white Destiny PS4) no matter how stable your speed is it would always fluctuate like that on a wireless connection.

It's Sony's Servers, have been like that for many years.. MS is just as bad though. There are countless people always on the servers, and they have to balance their load somehow.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

It's Sony servers for sure.
Though the error you just got is like a blue screen on PC and i would like to remind you that PSs and Xboxs are basically computers so expect crashes.
