I have no idea why but the last couple of days, PSN has been so slow. I bought a game and I've been trying to download it but it literally takes 5 mins for 1% so I end up cancelling. My ISP is running normal, fast net but PSN is the complete opposite. Anyone else experiencing this?

Mine has been too - I mean, it's always been slow, but the past month it's been painfully slow. I even switched over to a wired connection (normally it doesn't matter as my PS3 is less than a foot from my router) and still I've only managed to get 1mbps peaks during downloads. Meanwhile every other device I have is pulling down close to 25mbps.

Yep the PSN does slow down at times. I love Playstation 3 and enjoy PSN. But sometimes it is very slow at times. maybe I just hit peak Dn times. Mostly their is no difficulties with PSN being slow.

It's probably your connection. Might want to look into getting a better one.

It's been slower for me also lately. Not crippling slow but probably about half the normal speed.

Really? Is PSN really slowing down? I'm not up-to-date with PS3 and PSN, I've been very busy with university work and haven't played the PS3 for over a month. :( I hope it's not too bad by the time I play my PS3 next week when I'm home.

You might try downloading at a different time, like first thing in the morning. Might be less busy then.

Time of day is key for me. I don't even look at the store when it updates on most Tuesdays, as everyone under the sun is on there.

It's really getting annoying now. Some days I can't even connect to the PSN despite having Internet connection on all my devices including my PS3. It used to be perfectly smooth for me... Come on Sony

PSN has always been slow and hit and miss connection wise.

I agree 100%. PSN has not only been slow in downloading titiles, but also loading information like a friend list. I checked my Internet speed and I'm getting great speed + all my other dvices dowload normal.

I have only 30 friends and it takes forever for the whole list to load.

Looks like it isn't just me then. I gave it another shot, only this time at night which I managed to get it downloaded. Took an hour where usually it takes no more than 5 mins :|

It's taken me over a week to download Chains of Olympus (turning it on when I get home from work, turning it off when I go to bed). But I'm at 96% now so we're almost there.

Haven't had it slow down on me either at all. When I download stuff from there I usually get it in one shot.
