He is blaming Sony for slow download speeds when he only has a " 2.5Mbps" connection?

:lol:

....this thread... :roll:

Everyday is a bit exaggerated, but they don't have a good track record on firmware updates recently. I remember when 3.0 had the bricking problem if you had the game set to autoplay.

so now sony caring about there console by release firmware for it is a bad thing? :S they may hurt a few ps3s with an update but no firmware is perfect

My ps3 is fine and Fireware updates are optional.Fightingfan

Although they may be optional, I feel a need to log into PSN at sometime.

""Slow downloads from PSN are a popular topic these days. My service is through Comcast, I think 12 Mbps as my desktop computer can pull about 1.4 MBps. The PS3, with default connection settings (no proxy) only manages *maybe* 100 KBps when downloading from the store.""

the fact you have to set up a proxy because of Ps3 problems, and the locations of playstation 3 servers for store content aren't very well established around the world is just freaking sad.

P.S: I think you got it wrong, his connection isn't 2.5mbps, the ps3 is only downloading at 2.5mbps.
""The file is 131MB in size. I can't download it in the background, and it takes seven minutes to complete. That means my data speed is 2.5Mbps, which seems about right for the slow-as-dirt PlayStation 3 downloads. Then it has to install, and the game reboots.""

he is doing the math that a 131MB file takes 7 minutes to complete, means the ps3 is only downloading at 2.5mbps.

But teh convenience, they say. :cry: Consoles failed this gen.

Dont really know what the op is on about but those updates are painfully slow and annoying. I use to wonder why some referred the ps3 as patch station 3.bigboss5ak

Patchstation 3. :lol:

I don't see this personally. I have no problems with their security, no problems with their system and the downloads are as frequent as my X360 or PC. At least PC and PS3 allow you to schedule them!

Idk what everyone's deal is with slow PSN downloads. It's never been a problem for me. My laptop runs at about 20 MB/s down and 4 MB/s up and my PSN download speeds aren't much different.

I'm losing my faith in the gaming community everday but you don't see me making threads about it.

Uh this is a little extreme. And silly.

Idk I haven't had much trouble. I'm normally at a minimum of 10MB/s so downloads don't seem to take that long. I'm not sure what speeds XBL goes at

Hopefully Sony isn't reading this topic because they might upload that virus!

love how its blown out the water.Mines only takes bout 10min tops to dl the patch and then another 5 to install it.Neither does it bother me cause i just go for a shower,tidy up a little bit or do some other task rather than staring at a loading bar.

Your logic got worst even sentence i read. Why would whtey release a virus and ruin the reputation they built for this long? Honestly a couple PS3 breaks after a update you go crazy.

Don't know what to tell you. I get great speeds on psn, so I'm going to say ignorance of how to set up a network is likely to blame. It sucks, but that's the way networks work. I've heard of people getting good speeds on psn and bad speeds on 360, it's all how the network is set up.

Firmware updates are optional man. And my PS3 is working perfectly even after the update... :?

Maybe one day Sony will update the PS3 with some good games XDIndie_Hitman

I update my PS3 every time an update comes out and my PS3 is fine. I don't think the problem is as large as people think.fabz_95

No, it's a coincidence I think. especially since it's known that if you turn off the system during an update problems will occur. I bet a lot of people break their systems while updating and try to blame the update.

No it isn't, it's getting better every day. Same goes for 360 and Wii.waltefmoney

[QUOTE="waltefmoney"]No it isn't, it's getting better every day. Same goes for 360 and Wii.monkeysmoke

The 360 doesn't need firmware updates tobreak consoles it does that without a firmware update right out of the box :P

Its a bit strange though, don't these things auto set-up? 360 isn't perfect either, while mine is fast and within tolerence, it's still not as fast as my computer. It would bother me, but on the 360 you can just download and do other things at the same time.

I think its quite crazy, Ive never had to update the firmware on anything for my pc. Updating firmware for a gaming console is a terrible idea.

The PS3 download speeds have always been slow. Get over it and adjust. If you want something, a movie, DLC, etc., just start the download and go do something else. Or start it before you go to work and it's done when you get home. I agree, it's frustrating, but adapt. It's the way of life, adapt or die.

A firmware update for a console is the same as a patch for your OS. Think before you speak.

seriously, my updates for my pc (either xp or windows 7) take about the same time to download with a compairable size as my playstation updates take, a few minutes discrepancy sure but still comparable, and im using my neighbors wifi so my connection is not good to begin with ( i get around 1.5 to 2 MB/s depending on where my ps is)
