I've been trying to figure out why my download speeds (updates, psn games) downloads not that slow but not as fast on my other console or my pc. I have a wired connection, NAT Type 2, and everything on automatic but downloads are not as fast as before. Any Ideas anyone??

Firewall on your router maybe

Put the PS3 into the DMZ

BTW My down/upload speed and ping are the same on PC (wired connected) and PS3 (wireless connected) according to speedtest.net

My download speed varies day to day. Some days things will download fast as hell, others it goes at a snail pace.

Nat Type 2? Which router you got? I don't have a PS3 (yet) but I can help you.

I already have the DMZ enabled for the PS3. For example, a 12MB file will take about less than a minute to download, before it takes about 10 seconds. I've even tried bypassing the router and still the same.

If you download stuff when there is more traffic than normal, its slower than usual. So for example when trying to download something about an hour after the PS store updates results in the slow speed. I have downloads of about 1.5-2.0 mbs, but when its busy i get about .5-1.0 mbs.

If you are in North America, Thursdays at 6:00 ET it gets real slow with everyone logging on to get the new stuff.

Same with mine, sometimes games download in less than an hour, and other times a game will take 3-5 hours to download.
