I love how diehard 360 fans try and throw mud around just to see what might stick... I especially find it interesting to always see the same handful of names who just so happen to advertise their XBL IDs, but no mention of a PSN ID (OP excluded), are always the same ones spreading FUD about the PS3 and/or games exclusive to the PS3... sort of makes you think they don't actually even own one.
The reality is that IF you have a properly working modem and or router, and have it or them set up correctly, and you have an ISP that supports it, you can download content off the PSN stores at rates as high or even faster than 6000kb/s. I know because that's the speed I get more than 90% of the time.
I also know that it's a fact that it is more than possible, due to problems with YOUR own personal network, for one machine to get significantly better download speeds than another, whether it be a PC, laptop, or console.
In addition, based on past comments I think it's fairly safe to say that neither of you have much of an understanding on how your own networks work, and despite offering to help the OP to diagnose his problem, instead he just keeps posting in different threads and on different dates complaining about download speeds that he is in control of.
This also suggests to me that the OP isn't at all interested in solving his connection issues, but rather is just looking to complain and trying to blame some mysterious unexplained server issue... that doesn't exist.
If someone wrote a book on every false rumor about the PS3 spread by apparently threatened 360 fanboys it would rival War & Peace in it's longevity.
Give it a rest already. If you are truly serious about wanting to fix your network issues, go back to those previous posts where help was offered and follow through with some of the suggestions.
If not, please stop complaining about things that are largely in your control.

There are a fair share of false rumours being thrown by the PS3 side as well about the 360 and it's games. Remember fanboys exist on both sides.
For me both consoles seem to download pretty quick, the only time the PS3 is slow is when it's downloading an update file but so was the 360 when getting the dashboard update. Getting things off the PSN store is no different then getting things off the Xbox Live store.
I have both machines running wirelessly too so I'm not expecting the same speed as a wired connection would, but like I said I really see no difference in speed between the two.

Quite true, and it is one of the many reasons I do my best to avoid various PS3 forums. However, that's also why I really like GTP, because despite being a site that was founded on the shared enjoyment of an exclusive PS game, there is very little in the way of false mud slinging on the 360 in this forum, even in the PS3 area.
I can think of two members in particular who were guilty of that, but one I never see post any more, and the other almost never.
Regardless, fanboys in general can be the worst thing about owning a console and trying your best to get real info and trying to help others get the most out of what they have.
FUD just get's in the way of sharing accurate information, and it just has no place here. Keep it in the rowdy sites, not GTP. 👍
wow... i don't know you, at all, but somehow, i take this comment as a personal attack.. and i have no idea why you'd do that.
I went from stating an observation to being a complete incompetent in "networking" and a x360 fanboy lol
God i love the internet for that.
There are no special ways to setup a network with the PS3 dude, if you want to allocate specific ports to your PS3, you go right ahead, but its really plug and play. I use the Wifi and it works great. however, updates take close to 30 mins to download, every single times, on the PS3. Its not "my network"... 'cause i play GT5 and other online games with very good ping and never really lag.
the problem is not the console, but the PSN service. Whenever i patch or download a video/demo, it always takes an enormous amount of time to do it. And i've tested it for fun. Downloaded the GRID demo on 360 and PS3 AT THE SAME TIME (both consoles running on same bandwith) and surprise, i was playing on the 360 while the PS3 was about 35% done.
Now if you want to give a class on "networking" and how to "properly set a router", go ahead, share with this community. but if you're just gonna insult people with your superior attitude, please do that somewhere else.
Thank you.

Well I took my PS3 to my friends, he uses a wired connection and has a 360 also, his 360 downloads pretty quick and the PS3 is similar when downloading from the appropriate stores, the 360s game updates were quick, but they were also small and took a similar amount of time to small updates we had on the PS3 (MCLA being a good example). So I don't know what you're doing to get 4 or 5 times difference between them, at the same place at the same time, we download from 360 and PS3 at similar rates.

Well I just downloaded the 1.03 update for PlayStation Home, and despite doing it at the time undoubtedly hundreds of thousands of anxious PS3 users are swarming the servers, based on the unbelievable amount of traffic on all the PS3 sites and even in th main stream media regarding today's release of the open beta of Home, combined with the fact it's also the busiest day of the week for the PSN because this is the day the PSN stores get updated with new content...
Despite all this, it took exactly 20 seconds to download the 13MB update. That's over 5000 kb/s. Yeah... that's "slow" alright.

The updates take longer because instead of adding the new features, they redownload the entire OS (XMB, features, etc.)
This makes it safer because they know that the code works, versus just adding a feature, and not being sure that it will work, had someone downloaded a previous update and lost a little bit of it, they may be missing code for the new update. Which could cause the system to not work properly. (Or that's my theroy, atleast)
Simple question, was this on a Thursday?

First off, I made this poll to see how different peoples download times varied.
It seems to me that the HOME downloads are very quick. I have never been able to download 50 mb files on the ps3, as fast as they do in HOME. It seems that HOME is working very well so far, at least for me.
As far as your first post in here is concerned. I am not a fanboy of either console. I always state a completely unbiased opinion for anything I review, or comment on. I would love to know how you get such quick download speed with the ps3, that is the only major flaw I have with the system. Well, two others, the lack of being able to chat with anyone, anytime, and the lack of joining friends games straight from the xmb. I'm sure though that HOME will take care of both of those issues.
I have searched for ways to increase downloads speeds on the ps3, and haven't been able to find anything that helped me. I must admit though, that I am not the best at using search functions. I have friends that find all sorts of these on google that I miss.
Anyway, any help you can give me would be much appreciated. As long as it's not as insulting as your first post in this thread. I really don't like being attacked like that, just because I am having problems with a system that you obviously love. I am not a tech genius, and assumed that the ps3 was plug and play like everything else.

In that case, so far at least 80% are not experiencing anything like what you have said is happening to you, only 30% say their 360 downloads faster, and nearly 40% say their PS3 downloads faster.
That already exists, and has been in place for over two years now. You can IM, voice chat, even video chat with anyone you like on the PSN, even if they don't have a camera... they'll see you, but naturally you wont see them. You can even share photos live during the chat... and you can even chat with six people at the same time, both with audio and video.
I have effectively done the same thing long before Home. The PSN not only tells you from the XMB (both in-game and out) which of your friends is currently online, but also what game they are currently playing if at all. In fact, if they are playing LBP it will even tell you the exact level location or level they are playing in... even community levels.
If I want to join them, or invite them, even when a game doesn't have an invite option, all it takes is sending them a PM. If they are available and say yes, I start the game and as long as that game supports invites or lobbies where you can easily find your friends then off you go - and if they don't, that is the fault of the game developer. I've done this with many games, most recently with LBP - and inviting someone to join you in your Pod or on the level you are playing is ridiculously easy. The notion that the PSN is in some way preventing this is simply wrong.
Perhaps the problem is that you are so familiar with the 360 and XBL, any way of doing something that is not the same way is an unpleasant experience, which frankly I can completely understand... but it doesn't mean it can't be done.
If I sound less sympathetic or understanding than you would like - or even down right hostile, please consider putting yourself in my shoes... I have taken a great deal of my own personal time offering a great deal of advice to help people get the most entertainment from their systems, and not just consoles either. I've posted countless guides, offered and given help on numerous occasions, posted helpful links so they can better understand what they have and how to get the most out of it... including many many times on resolving personal network issues... and yet when I see specific people posting in those same exact threads, either ignoring the advice, suggestions, and or links, and just complaining and often blaming something that has little or nothing to do with their problem... well it get's down right depressing sometimes.
These days I have a tendency to just quote myself from an earlier post that has the same info because it doesn't make sense and takes too much of my time to keep saying the same thing over and over again. the worst is when someone says they didn’t bother even looking at past posts, or searching for threads or posts that would answer their question... or even just do a Google search... but then they complain because they can't figure out what’s wrong so of course they blame Sony, Microsoft, Apple, PS3, 360, whatever... because it can't possibly be something that is their own fault, or that they have control over.
If it sounds like I'm venting... it's because I am. Sorry.
OK where were we?
It is as much plug and play as any similar product, perhaps more so. If you are happy with the default setting then off you go. However, seeing as the settings menu is very easy to navigate, and every PS3 comes with a extraordinarily intuitive and easy to use online manual that can be accessed either from the XMB or from a PC, most everything regarding the PS3's system software can be found there.
However, if, as it sounds like, that your problem is with your network, then you are looking at the wrong thing... as I and others have said many times in the threads you posted in before... which is why you find me so frustrated with you.
You are asking for help, yet not only have you ignored suggestions, but you haven't even shown that you have made an effort to research why exactly you are apparently having such slow download speeds.
Seriously. Try for a moment to put yourself in my shoes, and ask yourself, why would you even bother to take the time to keep posting the same tips, guides, suggestions, links, if they are just going to be ignored?
I'm not getting any compensation for my participation, and instead what I occasionally get is grief and aggravation... if you were in my shoes what would you do?
Stop posting and just say "too bad, hope they figure it out"... even when you know you could be of some help, or at least would normally be willing to try and help?
Yeah... it’s these moments that really irk me.
I normally really, really, enjoy helping people out.... but there are these occasions where I am sooo tempted to just say screw'it, let'em figure it out on their own.
But the trouble is, I hate thinking I could have helped and instead turned my back on them, regardless of whether or not I felt they deserved help... because frankly, it's the right thing to do, and lord knows I've been in the position of needing someone's help, and continue to on all sorts of subjects I am unfamiliar with, and I'd like to think someone out there will want to help me as I want to help others.
So I'll try once again...
They definitely updated the interface for those using a keyboard. There never used to be a way to add a line break. Traditionally it is done by pressing enter, but pressing enter when texting on the PS3 it takes you out of text mode and into the options mode. Now, when using my keyboard, it allows me to put in a line break by pressing Alt+Enter. 👍
They also added a delete (clear) all the text option by pressing Shift+Backspace. 👍
As for the time it took for me to upload the update, it took less than a minute using the PS3's wireless router, and I updated it soon after Solid Lifters posted.
This isn't the first time someone posts that it's taking a long time to download, while others download much faster.
I highly recommend that you open up the browser on your PS3 press the select button and put in the following URL http://speedtest.net or if you have GTP bookmarked, just go to it, and to this thread and press on that link.
It will ask you if you want to run the plugin, click on Yes.
It will then load a map with servers represented as pyramids. The one in yellow should be closest to you. You can click on any one to test, but for ideal results, click on the one closest. Now it may not be easy to click on it if it's close to a lot of other pyramids. This is where the PS3's zoom feature comes in handy.
Simply press the R3 button to toggle on and off zoom mode. When it's on, press and hold down the R2 trigger to zoom in on the map. Use the right stick to scroll around the web page, and the left stick to move the pointer to the pyramid of your choice.
Now simply click on the pyramid and zoom back out (L2) to watch the test being done and view the results.
Afterwards, it will also give you links to be able to post your results as a image file (png). While the PS3 browser wont let you copy that image link, all you have to do is click on the address (to the left of where it says "COPY"), and then the PS3 will open a text window displaying clearly the URL address.
If you do not want to take the time to write it down, all you really need is the 9-digit number that ends with "png".
http://www.speedtest.net/result/350525119.png
Now simply copy the following link, only replace your number with the one shown. Like this:
Now you can post it, and maybe that way we can help diagnose why you're having such slow downloads.
BTW: You may also want to bookmark SpeedTest on your PS3's browser. You can do that by simply pressing the Select button when you have the pge you want bookmarked loaded.
13Mb/s down and 1.3Mb/s up is a bit lower than usual. I typically get a 15Mb/s down and 2Mb/s up. If I bypass the WiFi router, I can get as much as 30Mb/s, but even just 6Mb/s is more than fast enough to download system updates quite quickly.
You can view your past SpeedTest results by clicking on the link that says "View your past results" which is located below the "Rate Your ISP" box.
That could very well be a key indicator. As NLxAROSA brought up, there can be many different reasons why transfer speeds are slower for some, and faster for others. The only thing we can do is at least try and isolate whether or not the problem has to do with our own ISPs and or own personal networks... because at least we have some control over that.
I agree though, if you know traffic is likely high on a server, and it's going to interrupt your schedule, then it's probably a good idea to not update until it's convenient. At least now Sony added the feature of automatically turning off your PS3 after an update as well as after downloading content from the PSN stores... so you can always schedule your downloading before going to bed. 👍
Like the trophy info you may have been told, you have also been extremely misled by someone regarding this so-called "extremely slow download times" on the PS3... which is utter nonsense... not that you are to be blamed for it, just that who ever told you that, you should never count on them for accurate information any longer.
First of all, you mentioned you can DL an HD movie over 1 gig in less than 30 min, and 1+ gig demos in less than 30 min... I do the same thing with my PS3 only about three times faster than what you are getting and I'm doing it wirelessly through a WiFi router. It takes me between 10-20 minutes to download 1 GB files from the PSN to my PS3, whether they be HD movies or demos.
The limit to how fast you can transfer anything from anywhere is first based on the bandwidth your ISP gives you. If you are using a router, especially a WiFi router, then you can also lose bandwidth if it is not properly set up and communicating accurately with the WiFi adapters with access to your network. Then, and only then are you limited by the traffic on a server that you are downloading files from.
Seeing as I regularly am able to download files from the PSN at a transfer rate between 6,000 kb/s and 15,000 kb/s clearly it is wrong to even suggest that the PS3 has extremely slow download times, and in this case at least, my speeds appear to be faster than what you are getting from XBL servers... but that's likely do to how much bandwidth your ISP gives you, and not the fault of XBL servers, but I wouldn't know.
Look, there are plenty of reasons why even hardcore XBL users are not happy that they have to pay. Don't take my word for it, just read what Cesar Berardini, the editor at Team Xbox has to say on the subject.
However, the fact is many do pay, and it's MS right to be able to charge for something that people are willing to pay for. Truly it's as simple as that. Granted, MS does have a captive audience, thus like their accessories and add ons, MS monopolizing the market of Xbox users such that if you own a 360 and want to play online your only choice is to pay to play.
Don't get me wrong though I'm not saying there is anything wrong with XBL, and I totally understand why many people continue to pay for it. At the end of the day, that's there only choice if they want to play online with their 360.
However, despite the rumors you may have been told, not only can you achieve extremely fast download times from the PSN, but for some games, Sony even has massive banks of dedicated servers so that unlike 360 games that require the players host the game (which can cause all sorts of lag issues and drop outs even with only a handful of players), games like Warhawk even with up to 32 online players are rock solid.
The upcoming game, M.A.G. is supposedly going to even support a total of 256 online players in a single game.
Please understand though, I'm definitely not saying anyone who pays for XBL is an idiot. Far from it. I completely understand why many continue to pay for it. I just wanted to make sure you and anyone else reading this that may have been misled by others regarding the PSN and trophies understands the truth.
I also want to add how much I appreciate the fact that we are having a meaningful and civil discussion about the differences and similarities between XBL and PSN without it breaking out into a flame war over formats, which you can see happen so often at other forums... yet another reminder on why I enjoy the time I spend here at GTP. 👍
Haven't we been down this road already?
As FK mentioned and many of us have every time this sort of thing comes up, there are sooo many variables that can and almost always do impact download times, many of which are in the control of the end user, like the ISP, modem, router, set-up, settings, and general environment... and yes, it is most certainly possible to see different download and upload times from one computer or console than another even though they are on the same network using the same router.
If you make the effort to visit Sony's PS3 Support Center and/or PS3 Knowledge Center you'll find lots of information on how to make sure you have your PS3 properly communicating with your router and or modem.
Unfortunately there are some things you simply can't control, such as problems with your ISP, server traffic, and traffic on your node.
But the best place to start is to run a speed test on your PS3 and any other device you have, one after the other so that you can first accurately compare the download and upload times you are getting from the same server. This does a great job of isolating where the problem may be occurring.
As I have said before, and even in this thread, I highly recommend SpeedTest - if you need a reminder or instructions on how to use it, and how to post your results right here in this thread so we might try and help you identify where you may be having a problem, then please look back to post #1071 in this thread.
Well had you run a SpeedTest on your PS3 as well as your PC, before or after you started the download, it may have shed some light.
However, if the file is 58MB, and it took you 30 minutes to download it, then you were getting a transfer speed of about 258 kb/s. Next time you get a chance, run SpeedTest on your PS3 and PC and post the .png file in this thread and at least we may have something to work with.
For instance, it took me 3 minutes to download the update. Which if it was 58MB, means I was getting a transfer speed of around 2600 kb/s which is considerably slower than the download speeds I was getting on my PS3 at the time:
I attribute the slower speed to the increased traffic, but based on my understanding on how servers and networks work. If I can download a file from the same server others are downloading it from at nearly 3Mb/s then anyone with an ISP and equipment and settings, that allows for download times at those speeds or greater (confirmed by doing a speedtest) should also be able to download those same files at the same rates... not slower.
In addition, based on my knowledge of how servers are set up, unless there are physically multiple regional servers with the US that Sony uses to direct PSN users to when downloading, then the differences in load times between people downloading at the same time will be almost entirely based on each individual person's ISP and the netwrok type, equipment, and settings used by that person.
Finally, here is a collection of links I've compiled, and shared with others on GTP to help them better understand their PS3, learn all the things it can do, how to get the most out of it, and how to troubleshoot an issue:

I don't know what to say. All of this will take me some time to figure out. Thanks for the help. If you have tried to help me before, sorry for not listening. I know what it's like to have your help go unrecognized, and disregarded. I will read through your findings and tell you how I have come along.
If I can get my download times faster for the ps3, then I know a few 360 fanboys that I can convert. Although I am sure they will still have a reason why the ps3 is inferior.
Wish me luck.
Update:
I have spent about 10 hours in the last day trying to remedy my problem. Called time warner, they said it was either sony or linksys. Called linksys, they went in, an optimized my router to how they said it should be set. Called sony, they said that if I was able to get on psn, that was all they were worried about. If my speed for the ps3 was 1200 kb (my computers run at 6800 kb down and 500 up, the wii at 2500 down thats with a 7mb max down and 512 kb up)then there was nothing I could change or do, they told me to call time warner. Called time warner again, and they said that it was my ps3's fault. Call sony. I then went through all of the ps3 manual info I could, and tried anything I could find on my problem, which was almost nothing.
I have tried going straight to the modem which gave me about 3500 kb downloads on the ps3. It is much faster then before. but still only half of what everything else gets. I'm going to try to go to my neighbors and use their DSL through verizon. If it's faster there, I will try a different modem to see if that helps. If that doesn't fix my problem I guess I will give up for the time being, and concede to the slow downloads of my ps3. Maybe for some reason, the road runner internet in my area, just doesn't work well with the ps3.

It seems for me in about the same speed. My inrtnetz is rather slow, but yeh seems the same Speeds for both consoles to DL.
About LAG..
Xbox360 i experiance a lot of lag. I know it all depends on game .. but I am paying 50 dollars (i was paying, because now i quit of the frustration with microsoft) and i still experianced lag in low player matches like Gears of war, or halo games, etc...
With PS3 depends what game, but its free, and its all up to my connection speed so i dont complain. And games like R2 has 60 players with 0 lag at all.
I would have to go in the both consoles in the poll,,, but i would, or should put PS3 when i gave it a longer thought.

Based on what you have said so far, I would strongly bet your problem isn't your ISP, nor your modem, nor your PS3... but it's your router. Linksys has a long history of similar and different problems with different devices, and not just the PS3, although if you search you'll also find hundreds of threads on various tech forums where people have reported to have found various workarounds using the settings menu of their Linksys routers.
I had a similar problem with a Dell router, I think the model was a TrueMobile 2300, which unfortunately had no work around. I am currently using a D-Link DIR-655 router that worked perfectly right out of the box, and not only do I get zero disconnects from my router to the PS3... something quite common with a few Linksys routers, but I also didn't have to put in the MAC address of the PS3 in to the router's DMZ settings to get the maximum transfer rates that my ISP and the WiFi adapter supports, which in my case, as shown earlier is about 15,000 kb/s down and 2,000 kb/s up.
That said, there can also be issues between a modem and a router. Like I said, networks are very complicated things, but make no mistake about it, there is nothing magical about the PS3, if the router is not allocating the PS3 enough bandwidth, or it is disconnecting, it isn't the fault of the PS3... it is just acting as a receiver and nothing more. The problem most likely lies with the router and what ever settings are being used.

Well you paid 50 dollars thats cheap for online gaming. I have experience no lag sometimes on COD:W@W but its all depending on the connection for the entire game. I don't mind lag at all sometimes but that is a personal preference. Before on PSO, I experience lag the same amount as for the 360 during my Socom series days. It happens so it happens.

So today I downloaded the Yakuza 3 demo from the Japanese PSN store via WiFi, and despite downloading from a server that is about 7,000 miles away it took only 25 minutes to download the 1256 MB file which is a rate of .84 MB/s or 6700 kb/s.
I just bought the Band Hero import key for Guitar Hero 5 on PS3, but when I try to download it, it doesn't work. First, it doesn't give me the option: "Download in Background", and second, after a few minutes of staying at 0% an error message comes up saying that it can't download. Can someone help me, please?

I upgraded my internet service to a 25mb connection instead of 7mb. This has fixed my ps3 download problems. Now it is sometimes slightly slower and slightly faster then the 360. It seems that my ps3 just needed a faster connection. For some reason Time warner's road runner just didn't work that well with the ps3 until I upgraded.
