Got it, thanks!

Can we try changing your PS4 to a different DNS to see if that helps? The DNS is the address book your console would be using to connect to destinations on the internet. Using a different DNS can help out with some connection issues.

To update your DNS follow the steps below:

Open up the Settings on your PS4, then go to Network. From there go to Set Up Internet Connection, and select either WiFi or LAN cable depending on what you're using.
Select Custom > IP Address Settings (Automatic) > DHCP Host Name (Do Not Use) > DNS Settings (Manual)
Enter the Primary DNS as 8.8.8.8 and the secondary DNS as 8.8.4.4 -- This is the public Google DNS.
Select Next > MTU Settings (Automatic) > Proxy Server (Do Not Use) > Test Internet Connection
