 Today I had a day off work and so was mainly concentrating my time on one of my maths assignments. Pretty dull stuff, really. My neighbour, to whom I'm allowing wireless internet access for his PS3, popped round to check the internet was still working okay. I took my lap-top round to his house, and sat a couple of feet away from his PS3. We found a couple of Hank Marvin (his choice, not mine) videos from YouTube and observed that the lap-top managed to retrieve these within a few seconds and the PS3 not so. Sony keep telling him it must be a problem with the ISP, the wireless connection, the router, the time of the day, the time of the month, the sun, the moon, the stock market . . . just anything, really, but definitely not a fault with the PS3. The other thing my neighbour has been told (perhaps by Sony, but I think more likely from friends/acquaintances) is that the PS3 is merely a games console, and not a PC, therefore slower wireless network speeds are to be expected - but this makes no sense to me. I'm wondering why his PS3 is having such a hard time at accessing my network (or any network) via its built-in wireless card; more and more I'm thinking there's a fault with the PS3.
