You realize that there are a TON of people downloading that demo right now right? It's probably the most popular thing on PSN right now. I downloaded mine in about 20 minutes... but I got it right when it first hit PSN, so it was before the masses started bogging it down.

Although a lot of people say it doesn't make a difference, personally, I get much better speeds using a wired connection as compared to wireless. That could be due to my router, I don't know. Anyway, if possible, you may want to try connecting it with an ethernet cable and see if your download speed improves.

LOL. $150 p/month?! Where the hell do you live?! I pay the equivalent of US$50 p/month but that's because I live in Australia and our broadband infrastructure is years behind the civilised world! (As is our goverment's stance on videogames!)

There's nothing wrong with a wireless connection. I use it and am never disconnected in online games or have slow download speeds. Are you trying to play a game at the same time that it's downloading? That would slow it down.

LOL it might sound crazy but I download stuff faster on the PS3 than on my PC using the same connection!

On the PC i download stuff at around 500 kb/s and on the PS3 i calculated i download at approximately 700 kb/s!

It's not because of high traffic. GoWIII is the biggest demo I've ever seen. I think it was like 2500+ Mb, and that's a hell of a lot compared to everything else. I'm guessing no one else just leaves their PS3 to download while they go and do something else?

It's not because of the PS3. It's your ISP as well as your preference for wireless.

It obviously is more than just your PS3, it's your ISP and your own personal speeds. Way to just blame the PS3 as if EVERYONE has connection to the same internet through the same means (up/down).
