@Doc_C_Live Dude. You're getting exactly what you are paying for. You are mistaking megabits with megabytes. You are paying your isp for 60mb(megabits). That translates into 7.5 megabytes per second of actual download data per second. Speed is measured in bits. Which is what isp's advertise in. Data is measured in bytes. Which is what you see on PSN when you're downloading. It's the reason people think Sony are shafting them. They're not. It's just people are misinformed. It's very common.
For example, I pay for 50mb (megabits)down and that works out to be 6.25 mbps (megabytes)which is almost exactly the speed I get on PSN when I'm downloading a game. Trust me. I watch it and count to make sure. Obviously, it's going to fluctuate up and down a tad, but for the most part it's steady.
@EUROCOMANDANT I understand that. However, you will be hard pressed to find a website that doesn't throttle download speeds. But you're right about what you said. It could be better. But that applies to everything in life.
@EUROCOMANDANT All I know is I pay for 50mb/s and I have no problem with my PSN downloads. It literally takes me 20 minutes or so to download a few gigabytes of updates or a game. I have a friend whose only option in the area where he lives is Comcast's 6 megabits a second service. It takes him hours and hours to download most updates. It all has to do with your internet provider. There's nothing wrong with Sonys upload speeds.
I have no problem with the download speeds. I download @ speeds as fast as 5 megabytes per second. I have a feeling some people pay for the lowest speed tier of Internet and expect Sony to exceed that when they're downloading. It doesn't work that way. You're only going to get as fast as you're paying for.
