IF I get PSN+ will I finally get normal download speeds?

On Xbox Live I get fast downloads and great streaming video. On PSN, well I get very slow downloads and the streaming video is horrible compared to Xbox live. Both are on wired Lan, and I have a 35/35 mb connection tested. I work for Verizon and know everything there is to know about networking, TRY ME. PSN is definitely slower and many have the issue that I am having. Will PSN+ fix this?

I have really speedy download speeds on PSN even on my 1MB/sec. connection.

Also PSN+ isn't out yet, so we have no way to know if it will affect dl speed.

Why would anyone here know?

Anyway, PSN download speeds vary for me. Most of the time they zip along at a decent pace, but there have been a couple of occasions where they slow to a crawl.

Download speeds are fine for me.

same

the only thing that downloads faster on XBL vs. PSN for me are patches/updates, which isn't that big of a deal

but demos download the same for me

Download speeds are the same for me....patches are faster on Xbox, but it's not permanent.

I didn't know you had a PS3 or an Xbox 360, I never saw any Gamertag or PSN card, congrats on the purchase! :P

Download speeds are slow on both

But I CAN'T STAND installs. Good lord, every time I'm excited for a lot of games, I gotta install it, and depending on the internet, can take up to 15 minutes. I'm impatient when this happens, haha.

well for me its about 4 x's faster on xbox live downloading a demo, yes 4 x's and its been tested. I have a 35/35 mb connection and Its tested and the same demo i download 4x's faster on xbox live compared to the same demo on PSN, on the same lan connection. Its also been talked about widely as a bug that SONY seems to not have an answer for. I get at best 7mb/2mb connect on the PSN speed test. garbage.

server load,server distance, incorrect port forwarded, modem compatibility lots of others could affect you but the first thing you should try to do is put it in your dmz. also look to see if anyone else is having your problem with the same model.if youre using cable or ADSL (im australian that all that is offered here) and check your sync speeds to see what your syncing at. If on cable check what times you download because speed is affected by other users in the area. I know your on 35/35 so you should be downloading at around 7.5 MB per second but really you shouldnt expect too close but a theory i have is that since MS is a company in the US with its base and many users there it will have a higher amount of servers for its network while sony is japanese and might not have as many as a company from the US in the US.

edit: that psn speed test is garbage. don't use it for anything, it fluctuates rapidly and randomly. If you have the chance change dns settings and give it a static ip that helped me.

My DL speeds are fast 90% of the times (Like 2Mb/s)

PSN is slow for downloads but for some reason I doubt you have a PS3. What is your PSN ID?

thats just one of many links, do the research yourself, and yes I did and I also can link that as I showed PSN is definitely the slower service as it was like a 2 to 1 vote, im asking will that be fixed if I pay for it cause it goes without saying with LIVE you get the best

Easyle

always wired, and tested visualware, speedtest.net on the same exact lan port that I plug into for the PS3, I put the xbox 360 in that same lan port download a "like" demo and time it, take the 360 out of that lan port put in the PS3, do a speed test and I get at best 7mb/2mb, download the same "LIKE" demo and time the demo. Almost always xbox live downloads about 4x's faster and that makes sense since I have a 35/35 connection and its pretty much using 35/35 whereas the PSN doesnt for some reason. Its a problem many have had but until they fix it you have to deal with it. Its more with the PS3 fats from what I have seen.

before i help you anymore can i have your ID. Ive just noticed who your are and just want to make sure im not wasting my time. Oh and maybe your trophy level as well( just a bit more effort wont hurt, just turn it on)

To be honest, I don't think that information has ever been posted in SW (PSN Id or Xbox Gamertag), if I remember correctly, other users have asked in the past to no avail. :P

I like that PSN has free Multiplayer online, I have spent nearly $1000 on Xbox Live between my two Xbox's and my two 360's over the years, it really adds up.

If we are going to test your claim and at least support it

server load,server distance, incorrect port forwarded, modem compatibility lots of others could affect you but the first thing you should try to do is put it in your dmz. also look to see if anyone else is having your problem with the same model.if youre using cable or ADSL (im australian that all that is offered here) and check your sync speeds to see what your syncing at.

convicted_94

I have FIOS and nothing wrong with my settings on my BHR, actually tried 2 of them and also tried everything, DMZ, you name it, it just is a bug from my research for people who have the PS3 FATS, im just saying if they fix it I will get it.

oh look at that, yet another PSN+ flame thread by the same exact guy that made the other 20 ones. Ok lets establish this right now, we won't have to pay for basic services eventually, its not ownage that PSN+ exists because basic services are still free, and netflix, facebook, and that other feature (i forgot what you were talking about)can already be done. ok, moving on. do you even have a ps3? mine downloads just as fast as the Xbox does. Maybe you need a better internet.

antifanboyftw

no i dont need a better internet, guess you dont know what 35/35 symmetrical means.

Download issue has never been a huge issue, Live does download faster, the main issue I have is installing, installing a demo, installing a patch, thats were I see a big difference between my 360 and PS3. The PS3 applying patches or demos takes tremendous amounts of time over the 360, but I assume thats an issue with their OSDiviniuz

well I assume the PSN+ will have that fixed, hopefully they fix it all.

TC you dont have a PS3..... RTUUMM

I dont believe you have PS3 TC. Also I dont believe you work for Verizon or whatever that is. My PS3 on a crappy wireless signal will download just as fast as my 360 that is connected via wire. I'm on a 5.5mb connection to boot.

i love how the TC responds to every comment but ignores the ones that ask him to show proof he has a ps3 :lol:

his profile is blank, he has no avatar, no sig of any kind (gamertag/psn id) its obvious he's a troll craving attention..

I hope so but I doubt it. I was hoping that the manual installs after downloading on the background was fixed too, but I guess not.

why are people wasting their time on this thread? he clearly does not have a ps3! if he did, why would he not take a picture and post it in the forum??? people, comon, stop wasting your time with the tc

PSN is definitely slower and many have the issue that I am having.

Yup. PSN is so slow it's disgusting. Anyone saying different hasn't downloaded anything from Xbox Live.

Don't feed the troll, Projectnatalfan is the biggest lemming in system wars and he doesn't have a PS3.
