PSN is truly awful

Sadly i agree, PSN is quite awful. Im in south Africa, and the latest content on our servers are the Dead Space Demo D:

My PShome doesnt work either. its the server, not my connection

Um. That's weird. I never had problems with PSN before. *knocks on wood* And I hope it keeps that way.KojimaFoxLady

WOW! I guess you're right. It can happen. :D I'm glad that I don't have any issue with the PSN for the moment.KojimaFoxLady

"PSN is awful" *sigh*

and yet its a free service

It's free. You get what you pay for. My only real complaint is that downloads tend to seize up or pause whenever I'm playing a game, making the whole 'download in background' option useless, but that might be due more to the way individual games are programmed rather than the PS3 and PSN in general. Of course, I can't think of a single game that lets me download in the background. Well, that and checking out trophies takes forever. And messaging people is a pain in the ass. And even the simple act of adding a friend takes two steps too many.DJ_Lae

It just does not work. It doesn't even allow me to download upgrades, it disconnects way before that. One hour for 350 mb what the hell? would be nice if I actually got these 360 mb's but as I said it disconnects way before that. And no it is not my connection the Wii and macbook have no problem whatsoever no matter what I shut down the PSN refuses to do the only thing it has to do for me, download and upgrade. I thought Steam was bad.Edele_Wilde

The problem is with your connection. The only time I've had really slow downloads is when I try to get something thursday when the store updates. Highly anticipated demos sometimes take a couple days to die down.

Never had any disconnects though.

I did not read any of the other message and am sorry when I repeat someone. Try connection your ps3 with a utp wire(internet cable). If that solves the problem your ps3 or router is incorrect configured to properly work wireless together. I had the same problem, but sinds my ps3 is like 4 inch away from my router, It not that big of a deal using a cable.
