Hi, I'm looking to get a new broadband package, and was just wondering how fast the Wifi on the PS3 is. I want a fast package, but do not want to waist money paying for speed that isn't being used! (the PS3 is the fastest thing on my network) Can the console handle Virgin's 20mb fibre optic cable broadband, or does it top out at 8mb?

Thanks!

The wifi on the PS3 can be really fast as long as you have a decent router and internet, the only thing the PS3 wifi lacks is range as it is not as good as a laptop for distance. Also I don't know anything about the 8mb, sorry.

The wi-fi in the PS3 is not what slows the connection down it has more to do with the router and the way the internet provider regulates the speeds of your internet connection.

The PS3 has an 802.11G wireless setup. This means it can handles speeds of up to 54 mb/s.
