I'm sorry if you do know all that, but it does show why there can be such speed variations.
As for the Playstation, just imagine another server added after your ISP, between it and the 'internet'. By location I meant the location of the 'hops' taken from your home to the destination. Not sure if you understand how computers connect, if not, The speed variations come in during the 'several routers and computers' part of the trip. Not what you will connect at most the time. If direct download is slow, you can use background download mode to download files using the internal PS3 Download Manager. Download speed is too slow Optimization is still pending. The PS3 'calls' the Playstation network, connects to it, then everything it searches for is routed through the PSN.īasically your ISP speed is what is maximum for you at the best possible conditions. Check the /devhdd0/tmp/pkgi folder - each download will be in a separate. The PSN networks are separate from what your computers use. So it will depend on where and what path is taken to connect to the PSN server.
Yes, your PS3 speed will be determined by the PSN servers, not your ISP.
