PS3 Crap networking capabilities or crap servers?

[EDDS]

Now I've had Virgin Media upgrade my 50mb to 100mb last week and I did a connection test on my ps3 through both a wired connection and wireless connection, now my wireless connection showed up as 10mb down and 10mb up, my wired showed up as 20mb down and 10mb up.

Now the upload is correct and I expect the test to be off somewhat but it's 80mb off for download and I know it's not my connection as it's been stable since it was upgraded as I've done many speed tests since on my pc and it has been fine.

I thought the wired connection would go full speed as I thought the PS3 had a gigabit NIC.

So does anyone know if it's either some really crappy speed test servers or if there's a more serious problem with my ps3?

I doubt it's VM as I don't have a problem on Xbox LIVE (can roughly test the speed by timing a download).

People always blame virgin but when I was on virgin the 360 and pc could max out my connection every time yet the PS3 could take up to 3 hours for some of the bigger patches.

I tested by patching the same game (burnout paradise) on 360 then PS3, on 360 it took 7 mins, on PS3 it took an hour and half

They weren't freak results either, the PSN is always that slow

I think your right, It seems like it's just PSN has some slow servers.

I am on Sky BB and can max out psn, xbox live and the PC no problem

Problem is I can easily match your max speeds so that doesn't really prove anthing.

As I said in my first post I can get 20mb down with a wired connection so even if VM are throttling then I'm still getting the same as people on ADSL.

Still looks like the culprit is PSN, VM might have something to do with it too but I doubt it's the main problem.
