I wonder if anyone can help, I live in the north of Scotland and use Virgin Media broadband. My speed averages at about 4-5mb and I usually have no problems at all with my internet connection.

I have been on Xbox Live for many years with no connection issues either. However recently when on PSN at night, I have been having quite a few problems including been signed out of the network and also not being able to connect at all.

I get no problems during the day but at night it is a pain, I can be playing online perfectly fine and then it will just sign me out and it will take ages to sign back in.

At the same time, I can play online with Xbox Live no with no issues. I have put the PS3 in a DMZ and am pretty good with computers and routers etc, my router is a Netgear by the way running the latest firmware and is a trusty workhorse and I am on a wired connection.

Could it be linked to a certain firmware maybe (2.80), could it be my broadband provider though my internet and Xbox Live connections run great with Virgin.

Does anyone have any solutions or suggestions that may help as it is getting very frustrating.

Hiya,

I'm getting the same thing down in Stockton with my PS3 and Virgin media. I have a wired connection and 20Mb connection speed. The connection tends to measure about 19MB @ all times on speed tests from the pc, but the Ps3 gets no more than about 4MB a sec if I'm lucky.

I also get signed out randomly etc etc. I thought it was my wireless connection so moved the ps3 upstairs and plugged it diectly in to the router via cat5 and get the same thing.

Looks like it's Virgin screwing about with psn.
