Sometimes I think I must be the only person with a slow broadband connection. I can't watch high quality video streams without buffer breaks so there's no way I'd be able to play a game streaming across the internet. If Sony or MS or whatever installs a server farm across the street maybe I'd be more hopeful. But right now I have no interesting in stream gaming.

I know I'm not the only one. The US has a huge number of rural slow connections that aren't going to get upgraded any time soon. The US is just far too big to get fiber in every home at a reasonable cost.


you can't even watch a 720 youtube video without giving it some time to buffer up? because you have to remember that almost all playstation 3 games are rendered natively in that anyway, Even here in Ireland it's been possible to stream at 720 for the past couple of years, and our internet is made of potatoes and lucky charms.


if you think your interent is bad come to jordan, we still over 128/256/512 KB's speed here, my internet connection is 4 MB but it always is slower than promised. i always find it funny when people in the states complain about there interent, just come live here for a month and you will think your interent connection is faster than light its self

My home internet stayed around that speed. My grandpa wired the house and used some low quality cables. My college speed hoever is fast! Wifi is around 50 mbps, wired is 200. Bring gaikai Sony!

50 mbs? 200 MBS?!!!!!!

IF Australia can have  a National Broadband Network and it is the same size as the continental US then I assume it's a political decision not to.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

Austrailias net is always a thing causing grief to the gamers there, I didn't see a single AU review of Diablo 3 that wasn't just them crying for the duration of it about how they had terrible internet and games that used the internet were terrible. I know of course there is the same regions in AU btw but there is a lot of America where people are more interested in Banjos and their own sister than getting fiber broadband.

Australia is about the same size, but it's population is much smaller and less spread out than the US. The same can be said of Canada. It's bigger than the US, but has 10% the population. Most of that population lives within 200 miles of the US/Canada boarder.

I pay for 10mbps, but my actual download speed is only 1.24mbps and my upload is a pathetic .41mbps.

You're paying for 8 times what youa re getting and I'm paying for over 9 times what I get.

Fiber just isn't an option. I and tens of millions of others live just ten miles from true high speed. Many rural towns don't have fiber at all. It's not a matter of being too poor or too stupid. It's that the US is too big and spread out. It has taken 20 years to get DSL and Satalite internet to homes without cable access. It's going to takeat least another 20 or 30 years before fiber finds it's way to those homes.

For tens of millions of Americans that live just barely outside of fiber optic zones, they have only two choices. Move or live with slow speeds.

you guys know that the majority of broadband companys sell packages which are 24mb but it's megabit not megabyte while they have very similar names the difference is exactly 8 times more, if you are on an 8megabit connection the max you will be able to download is 8megabits per second.... which is 1 megabyte.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabit it is the standard rate used worldwide apparently. tis just misleading due to Megabytes abbrev. being MB and megabits one being Mb.

ah I'm sorry I wasn't suggesting that the fiber connection was there but the people were too rural to want to use it, I was saying that there are a lot of areas which telecommunication companys know would have no interest for the most part in the high speed lines so they've not bothered to roll them out to those areas.

I know it's begabit. That goes without saying. If I had a MB connection I'd have nothing to complain about. I typed it all in undercase so it wouldn't be confused with uppercase MEGABYTE. I do know the difference.

You missed my point. I said I'm paying for 10mbps but only getting 1.24mbps. I'm complaining that I'm paying for about 8-9 times the speed I'm actualy getting. If my rate was 9 times less I wouldn't complain, but I feel cheated.

ah okie sorry I just figured with the 8x error between what you're getting and what you should be getting a mistake in unit coulda been the issue, still tho even at 1.24mbps you could stream a game around standard defination.... maybe :< I guess that just isn't an option tho for everyone but a lot of people would be able to use it as full 1080 BC and I'd rather have any form of backwards compatibility than that of the ps3slim :(
