PS3 downloads so slow again.

My connection is fine otherwise, just done a test download or two from laptop and things coming down 300-400k+
I expect PSN/PS store dowloads to be slower in peak times but 15k a sec?? I get a bit hacked off when I go to play a game that needs an update, if its anything of any size.
Anyone else in the same boat?
P.S I'm currently on a my way option 3 account, and have been thinking of moving to the Premium package. Any benefits other than the the 80GB allowance?
Thanks,
Gary

That's exactly what I had to do too. Using the PS3 the progress bar was just touching 5% after 2 hours, so I went an downloaded it in hardly any time at all directly from the PSN site and stuck it on a USB stick.
I can't understand that if, as Plusnet claim, PS3 traffic isn't throttled why there is such a drastic difference in speeds between the PS3 and PC which are using the exact same internet connection.

you will find game demo downloads, updates will tend to be coming down to you at gold plated 0x60 (download servers rate limit) , i dont mind PN limiting the game demo's ect but i wish they could fish the updates out for all the consoles. there is nothing worse than sticking a game in you havent played in awhile to find youve got to wait for a big update to download at half meg maybe less.
and if you on unlimited and any off the game demo's ect are being picked up wrong as gaming, your still going to be hit by the 2mb rate on unlimited

Does anyone know if it is the PSN network that is slow, or do PlusNet seriously throttle the service?
I'm not that far from the exchange, and when I do a speed test, with one of the broadband speed checkers, I get ~6500 Kb/s download speed at all times of day......
Any thoughts anyone?
cheers.

That's really interesting - so, basically, although Plusnet told me when I signed up I'd get between 6Mb and 7Mb, they only aim to provide me - for the services I'm interested in - with about 5% of my line speed?
That seems to be deliberately misleading; how do they get away with it?!

If it's PN throttling the service I'm guessing I should complain about it? They're not exactly open about their policy towards PSN users so I do rather feel as though they've deliberate misled me into signing up...

It's like once they have your money they just don't give a shit.
