Hey everyone, the slow PS3 downloads seem to be a DNS issue. This all started a few weeks ago when my PS3 failed to update to 3.56. After troubleshooting, I downloaded the 3.56 update on my PC, directly from Sony's site, and could only manage 20 kb/s. At this point, I knew it was not PS3 related. A few years ago, I had a similar issue with ATT DSL and had to use alternate DNS servers to fix my problem. Sure enough, changing my PS3 DNS Servers fixed this issue for me, yet again.

Here's a short tutorial for those who may need step by step instructions:
#1 - Go to Network Settings on your PS3
#2 - Select Customized
#3 - Use either Wired or Wireless, depending on your connection.
#4 - Enter your information as usual, when you get to "DNS Servers",
manually enter:

Primary: 8.8.8.8
Secondary: 8.8.4.4

Hope this works for you as well.

P.S.: Screw ATT Tech Support
