How do you know that?  What are you using to draw that conclusion?  Anecdotal evidence from this thread?  You know of a comparison study where all variables are removed?  Where a VPN is used to ensure no ISP throttling?  Where the networking configuration isn't the problem as it is with many cases?  Where people aren't downloading from the publisher's network?   Where people are using real time instead of the inaccurate software estimates?

I dont know about Uabit (I'm sure they do and can clearly see they improved the network over PS3, man that was a mess sometimes, constent crashing and often went to 360 for online games) but I know for a fact that everything is okay, my ISP is not trottling it, ethernet cable doesn't make any difference, so its not wifi, I'm going to check again after mindnight, I can see that it was just after school closed that it dipped from just 10-15MB/s to 3-5Mb/s and then again two hours later when more teens (and possibly adults of work) would be home and it dipped to between 1-3Mb/s and slowly has started rising again since then. There are a lot of posts online about this dippage, its Sonys servers. I'll post back with the speed after midnight if anyone is interested.

I know a lot of people with psn issues :/
