Why is the Sony network so slow?


Recommended Posts

Yeah, I've port-forwarded all the ports as specified by games manuals & playstation support. PS3 has a fixed I.P via secured wireless also.

Web browsing is same speed as normal..only the PS3 is slow and it always has been.

Try setting the PS3 IP up as a DMZ.

If nothing changes, I dunno :wacko:

Hey, learn to deal with it :D

I've been using 256k DSL for a year now. Gotta love those 33 kb/s max DL speeds!

And yeah, its just Sony, deal with it or get a 360 lol. (I know I'm being ignorant but I will pwn u if u ask for backup (plz dont I dont like typing))

I've got a 10/10 Mbit connection and I live in the northern part of Sweden. PSN downloads are usually blazing fast when I use a wired connection (wireless doesn't work very well for some). Funny thing is, sometimes I get better speeds when I download demos with my U.S. account.

I'm quite satisfied with downloads at around 1 megabyte/s.

The PSN is kind of inconsistent when it comes to downloads.

I've had horrible download speeds upgrading the firmware and with some demos. Sometimes while playing an offline game I get disconnected from the PSN and an error appears on the screen.

But then some other times things work OK. When I downloaded the episodes of Siren (9GB) they came at around 1MB/s which was pretty good.

It's probably just inconsistent mirroring.

You get good speeds no matter what service you are using so nothing new there lol :p

    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
