Slow PS3 network
I have my ps3 connected via Ethernet to my belkin n150 modem / router.
It has just taken well over half an hour to download 47mb of data as part of updating my gran turismo game.
I was wondering if there was a simple reason it's so slow.
It's no faster if I connect wireless either.
Any ideas appreciated.
Cheers dilli

Re: Slow PS3 network
I find that the PSN can be really slow most of the time. Not sure why but it's extremely annoying.

Re: Slow PS3 network
Fair enough, as long as it's not something I've got set up wrong, cheers

With all the things that have happened with the PSN lately l think Sony have to up their game considerably or else they will lose customers in the short term and maybe longer term.

I have a 1Gb update for Heavy Rain that I am refusing to download as even on my 50Mb bb it will take ages due to the PSN.
Randomly it may give me ok speeds though.

Re: Slow PS3 network
My update for GT5 took about 20mins (on 10MB) which is considerably slower than usual. Although I bet theres still plenty of people downloading their free games etc (inFAMOUS was a good 7gb download and Little Big Planet was 2gb)

Re: Slow PS3 network
Have you tried doing a speedtest from your PS3 just to gauge how it stack's up. Even when I was on 50Mbps the PS3 never got anywhere near that on speedtest's.
Taking that into consideration though Ive noticed generally the download speeds via PSN to be almost like dial up since the hack.

Re: Slow PS3 network
Updates will always be slow when they've just been released, with the GT one, it's a good update some people have been coming back to the game just to see the new features therefore lots of people downloading the update at the same time, it's bound to be a bit slow

Re: Slow PS3 network
When I changed my cable I got my full 6.2mb according to the ps3 connection test.
It took about ten mind to do it then.
Sorted - cheers all
