PSN download speeds
It took around 2:30 hours for WipeOut HD (1GB) to download on my 5Mbps connection last night. On top of that my PS3 didn’t download in the background while I was watching a DVD with my girlfriend. It didn’t technically start downloading until around 8 pm, as a result it didn’t finish until around 10:40 pm. I figure that would be around 400 MB an hour, or a pathetic 6MB a minute…
This left me with only 30 minutes to play WipeOut HD before I had to go to bed because of work today.
I don’t think I’m imagining things when I say that Xbox Live games downloads go almost twice as fast, if not faster..
I plan to check on my AirPort router configuration again today to make sure the slow speeds aren’t caused by my network… I hope it’s on my end because the speeds I’ve been getting are pathetic.
