Hi, wonder if anyone can tell me whether there's a workaround/solution for us locals to increase the PS4's upload speed?

It came to light that our ISP is subbing to another ISP who throttles PS3 and PS4 traffic.

People abroad can just fix this by setting Primary and Secondary DNSes manually that fixes this issue, but it doesn't apply to us here.

We have upgraded our package 4 times in the past year already (to my dismay) and don't seem to get the service what we pay for, which is really unfair... :-(

Best way is to switch ISP's.

I am with Cool Ideas on Vuma, and I am getting my full upload speed on my PS4. I can easily do a 1080p Twitch Stream no problem.

Sounds like your product is asymmetrical and not symmetrical.
When it comes to fibre its always best to choose a symmetrical product.

Do a speedtest through the ps4 browser...

Ja get a symmetrical account Vox got some nice ones

Stay away from VOX, or any other of the so called Big ISP's (Mweb, afrihost, webafrica, etc.)

On Fibre is pays to go with the smaller guys, as they generally don't screw you over

If the ISP is the problem then the solution is pretty obvious, or am I missing something?
