PS3 3.0 Firmware Update, hidden feature: Internet Speed Test

[BoyBetterKnow94]

hi i have 50mb too but on my ps3 is saying im only getting 1mb can you help

[xSouLxReaPeRx3o5]

are you using a proxy sever?

[durango562]

How can you get your "connection test" to test your download and upload speed? I always test mine and it doesn't give me my download and upload speed.

[mothmani14]

how did you get the tv thing

[Joak1mV]

What is better with NAT Type 2? When I do this test the download and upload speed remains blanc.

[TheMbl13]

@Joak1mV you have NAT type 3 i guess?i do too and i cant fix it :( but NAT type 2 is an open connection with your router,type 3 means it is not connected correctly,so it is too strict.it doesnt allow me to do a voice chat,but the voice works on games:S

[Joak1mV]

@TheMbl13 Mine is NAT 2 Now.. :D It was 3 before, but now I fixed it :D Thanks for replying ;-D

[TheJaybird88]

mine wont say anything on connection speed

[redlord13]

How do u have 50 Mbps !! What server do u have?

[InfraRedPS]

Virgin Media in the UK do 50Mbps

[braulio95112]

@InfraRedPS men,in mexico were mediocre,i have 1 mbp :'(

[pendeho47]

Damn, I hate Wi-Fi, I have a 6 mbit/s (down, up is good) internet and i get 2-2.5 on my PS3.

[Gamerwillz]

Oh man... I wish my home can get speed like that. I'm stuck at 6Mb max.

[DNKY90]

I'm pretty sure Sony's network is more than capable of upstreaming at 50mbps.

[InfraRedPS]

Yes definitely, but not per user.

[Mopar360cii]

how did you get your NAT type 2?

[InfraRedPS]

By setting the PS3 in the DMZ of my router.

[DarkenFool]

Quick question.. My internet is running on 1.5mb speed. Is that good enough for the ps3? Downloading is like 180kbps.. Yes i kno its shitty, but its all i need atm. If i have to ill upgrade to 25mb/s

[DNKY90]

UPGRADE

[xXGiLtChEsNmORExX]

[sjbhatia1987]

[RoyTolliver15]

damn man ur upload speed is my download speed lol shit

[InfraRedPS]

Lol :)

Lets just be happy we aren't still on dialup!

[tomtoon2007]

well at first i thought he was on virgin media's 50Mb but ok

[IncubusKevuk]

whats an insector cluso? is it like an inspector but an human insect who has trouble with the english spelling?

[lilRey512]

yo how do u have tv on ur ps3

[InfraRedPS]

We get it in the UK as a separate product that allows us to watch the free broadcast TV, it's called PlayTV

[raldo94]

1 thing u should know is that that is just a estimate wht the speed r

shit ur upload speed r rly slow

and r u connecting it directly 2 the moden or wht u now have and not a lot of routers abd switches before cuz that could slow down speed

and have u thought that they have 100mb/sec and somewhere on the line between u and the server it is slower

(i have more than 33mbit 2 the server)

[InfraRedPS]

The ratios in the UK are rubbish, so 1.6Mbit upload is pretty much the best for a home user. On proper speed test websites I get my full 50Mb down 1.6Mb up so the setup is fine.

[raldo94]

k but im livin in the woods far away from any city

[InfraRedPS]

What country?

[raldo94]

sweden

[InfraRedPS]

Ah Sweden, goes without saying really, your country has high ratios and have set a good standard for technology adoption, whereas the UK is too busy worrying about Afghanistan, MP expenses and knife crime to bother setting a proper standard for infrastructure.

[BrokenTVProductions]

Your internets fast.

[chickensprite]

insector cluso

[altair3feb]

that's not hidden

[InfraRedPS]

They didn't tell us about it therefore... hidden.

Read other comments before making your own.

[acmcowling]

its no a hidden feature, its right there in the connection settings ffs -_-

[InfraRedPS]

Oh right so you were given a special list of change notes for 3.0 that told you about the speed test?

Nope it's a hidden new feature because they didn't tell us about it. Not something where you press Up, Up, Down, Left, Right... LOL

[UKDanneh]

Nice hidden feature and good work detective. :p

[ThaDamager]

5/5....

[doraldy1]

Oh damit I should move from US to UK!!! i heaered you guys got the VidZone...

[InfraRedPS]

Yep we got VidZone too :D

[doraldy1]

what is the TV tab u gott there?

is it something like a comcast reciever or something or you can just download it ?

[InfraRedPS]

It's called PlayTV and is available in the UK, Europe, Australia etc. It allows you to watch free TV on your PS3, look it up it's pretty cool but not available in the US
