Just got this warning for the first time ever (been playing Destiny since 2014).
There is nothing wrong with my Internet, the problem is I'm playing on a PS5, and the population count is so low due to the lack of players on that platform.
I'm in Ireland, and I regularly have a long wait for PvP matchmaking on the PS5, and match against player in Asia, and if I look in the roster, I have a really low connection bar.
I assume people are reporting me for having a poor connection, but if Bungie are only matching PS5 players together, and there's a shortage of the consoles, it's a bit much to be threatening me with a ban for a poor connection, when the cause is not me, it is a low player population count on that platform.
None of these problems happen when I play on my PC, on the same network.
My Internet connection is 500Mb up / 50Mb down, and am using a LAN cable. EDIT: it's actually 1000Mb / 100Mb that I have with my ISP, but I only get 500 / 50 on the PS5, don't know why.
Screenshot of Connection Test on the PS5 attached.

Here’s what you can do: [b]Tests for Bufferbloat[/b] Does the quality of your web browsing, voice call, or gaming degrade when someone’s downloading or uploading files? It may be that your router has “bufferbloat” - unnecessary latency/lag created by your router buffering too much data. If the tests below show high latency (say, above 50 msec), read our recommendations at What can I do about Bufferbloat https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Tests_for_Bufferbloat/ [b]Eliminate Bufferbloat in your Network…[/b] There are lots of ways to throw money at this problem. Most won’t work. Your ISP would love to sell you a faster connection, but link speed isn’t the problem - it’s your router buffering more data than necessary. Buying an expensive router (even one for “gaming”) won’t necessarily help, since most commercial, off-the-shelf router manufacturers are clueless about Bufferbloat. Twiddling the router’s [b]QoS might make a difference[/b], but it’s a hassle, and only helps a bit. Instead, you are going to have to take charge. Once you fix it for your own network, it’ll stay fixed for all time, and you won’t be subject to changing practices at your ISP or other vendors. https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/What_can_I_do_about_Bufferbloat/
