Hi, having problems the last 2 months playing cod on ps3! Round about 7:30 pm every night i start getting a poor connection, fluctuates between 1 red bar and 1 yellow bar. This is also causing terrible lag, seems like a 2 second delay. Really ruining my cod :( Any ideas what the problem could be? ive tried it with wired and wireless connections and still the same. Do speed tests and still getting 1600 kbps download speed sometimes whilst this is happening but sometimes only 900 Kbps. The needle on the speed tester sometimes fluctuates badly just during the test. Any one got a clue what the problem could be?
-
peak time on PS3 network or ISP?
-
thats the thing, ive been playing on it for 3 years and its only been the last two/three month this has been happening. cant be hardware as its fine any other time, and all my mates from local areas never go below three green bars while im on red/yellow.
-
How are you connected to the net? Wireless router or hard wired? Could anyone else in your house be using the internet at that sort of time?
-
just myself in the house, ive tried it wired and wireless, just exactly the same with both. the wireless router is bang next 2 the ps3 basically. prob bout a metre apart. Called up orange and all they do is ask me to carry out linespeed tests, which come in as acceptable speeds. Im skunnerd! dunno what it could be

buy an x box :cool:

is your network secured? some freeloader might get home from work at 7.30 and steal your net :) could also be a firewal or something though I dunno why it would only kick in in the evenings

Lol that won't help. Later on in the evening when America gets home from work the games can be awful.

^ But in answer to the original q its cos Sony introduced the Playstation+ Network for £40 per year. My mate shared his log in on Saturday night and not a problem on my connection at all...my ID was b0ll0xed...major lag and connection just dropping out completely.
Hope that helps...either that or get a 360 :rolleyes:

forget virgin, get sky! UK's fastest braordband my arse, as the saying goes, anything can be proven with statistics.
I've had a fair few isps and sky is the best all round, plus you get all the tv and if you have them supply your phone line you get discounts as well. I'm paying £40 a month for unlimited downloads, all entertainment channels, and phone line rental

Sky piggy backs BT....buff said.
-
I had bt before moving to sky, bt can suck my balls
-
^ Err... What line is Sky piggybacking on then? It's using BT equipment and any issues get raised with BT :grin:
-
this is true, but they get things done so much better.
Oh and my speeds have increased since moving to sky. Was 5.6mbps, now hovers around 8.4mbps
