Sweeeet ..this is my own net speed

Not too shabby eh?! :D

You might want to try to move the ps3 closer to the wifi router.

Downloading stuff from the living room takes at least 4 times longer then when I move the ps3 downstairs.
(At least it still works. Our WiiU in the living room fails to stay connected 90% of the time, unless I bridge internet connection through my wife's wireless N laptop)

My old laptop (b/g) in the living room gets 4 to 6 mbps down, 2mbps up, 14ms ping according to speedtest.
My wife's wireless N laptop same spot, 22 mbps down, 2mbps up 13ms ping.
My wired desktop gets 40 mbps down, 2mbps up 13ms ping.

The PS4 gets wireless N if I'm not mistaken, should work better.

Ah.......... ps3 download sizes and speeds (yet another reason why mine aint been switched on in a month)

Bought House of The Dead 3 & 4, total waiting time for both to finish downloading......... 6 HOURS...!!!!!!

Opened Heavy Rain, greeted with a forced installation, took 90 mins, game starts, some other shit starts installing, total waiting time between first putting the game in ps3 and finally been able to play it........ 2 HOURS...!!!!!

Sort this crap out next gen sony.

That is terrible. It took me 3 or 4 hours to download R&C: all 4 one which is about 16GB. Is your xbox just as slow?

Yes, patching-system and download-speeds are (at least for not only a few people) bad on psn.

To make it short: no cumulative updates and no differential updates.

It's not the PS3 or Xbox 360. It's my internet speed. Anything I hook up to my DSL is the same speed. I just have slow DSL and no option other than dialup. Which isn't really an option. I guess I could get sat internet, but that costs more.

Should have gotten a Vita instead.

Where do you live?
Such slow internet still exists?Europe pretty much has 100MB/s down for cheap everywhere...
Isn't there really an option to get a better standard?Maybe finding enough people that are in the same boat as you to start a petition or so?
If your place is so far behind in those things and Media is doing a lot more with Digital Content it will be a pretty interesting future for places like yours.

PSN downloads are noticeably slower for me as well, and I have the PS3 set up in a DMZ. It took me like half an hour or so to download the 7.-something GB Assassin's Creed 3 on 360 yesterday. I can't imagine the process on PS3 with the downloading of the game, updates, and then installing. I really hope they improve these things for PS4.

btw my Interwebs:

I live just outside of a mid sized rural town in Eastern Oregon. It's a 3 hour drive to the nearest metro area. I love the country, but the internet speeds stinks. Luckly it doesn't seem to harm online play and I can watch streaming video on low quality or download it to watch later. I'm used to it and don't think about it much. But when I do download a game I remember how slow it is. I don't even want to know how long it would take to download a game like MGS4. I know I could get it in a factions of the time if I ordered it from Amazon and had UPS delivery it to me.

Anyway, European countires are very small compared to the USA. Each of our 50 states are still huge compared to most european nations. This poses a problem when communication lines have to be physicly layed across huge spans of countryside. American's population is spread far and thin. Metro areas have great broadband internet, but small towns and rural areas have slow internet access. To lay optic lines for everyone in the USA would at least a generation and more money than I can imagine. Half of the US population does not live in metro areas so the digital distribution and streaming future that you are looking forward to is a long ways off for America. That means the US won't be going digital or streaming only anytime soon. No company is going to hack off half their customer base just to go digital. But no communications company wants to invest in laying the lines either. The government might help, but we have enough dept and can't pay for everything the idiots in congress want to pay for already.
