Was just reading about the delay and what to expect when apparently it comes on early next week............PLAYSTATION UPDATE

Interesting. A better experience all round is more important than free games.

I won't hold my breath just yet though.

Robertos has helped me out in the past with private messages and he certainly knows his stuff that is a Fact.

Is there nothing this guy does not know about Broadband...................I am not to bothered as my connection is really good with Xilo as i get stable pings and 12 meg download speeds...............It costs around £30 a month and for that i get 75 gig download limit which i have never actually reached but once in the last 18 months.

But anything that is actually better has to interest me as a gamer ?

That link is just a Broadband checker and does not give me the information i require regarding FFTP...........It just tells me what i already know mate and that is i can get a download speed of 12 meg and a upload of 1 meg which i have.

Took a quick glance at the fibre forum but can not find the link you suggest in the mass of posts on there.

FTTP is fibre to the premises and is pretty rare at the moment. We have it here in Milton Keynes but only on 1 exchange because it is one of the trial areas.

Most places are having FTTC rolled out, fibre to the cabinet. The speed you get is related to how close you are to your street cabinet. If it was due to be rolled out it would state the date and estimated speed on that checker, below the other speeds you read.

If it wasn't on the other list you saw on the Aquiss website either, then unfortunately you probably aren't on the current rollout phase. You could try the SamKnows website in the FTTx section. That site tells you when your exchange is due to be enabled for fibre. The cabinets would come after that date. Even then they are not enabling all the cabinets from enabled exchanges. It's a bit of a lottery to be fair.

Luckily you have a reasonably decent connection anyway.

T2D, do you have your PS3 in the DMZ of your router mate?

Mmmm, Very interesting in particular, "thus likely to be criminal negligence". This is a huge mess for Sony, depending on what view you have, they do have some hard decisions to make! Which i think will have them behaving differently.

Big talk as usual from them, but this isn't Hollywood.

And when the FBI catch up with them?

They won't forgive.
They won't forget.
Expect them to cry for their mums.

lol

That's a good question so i will open up the router now and take a look....Hold fire ?

Looks like the answer is no mate and i just let the netgear router do its stuff and to be honest i don't have any problems.

Had to actually look what DMZ was mate and what effect it has and what people use it for.........Is it the Playstation network address or something and its what you put in manually and not have it on automatic like mine.

I do a lot of downloading so i was a little envious of your speeds and just thought i would check it out,saying that i have a very stable connection that downloads stuff really quick so i am not complaining...........[touch wood]

My understanding of DMZ is "Demilitarized Zone", and should allow the data to bypass any firewall/processing that the router may have on board. This should help with stable latency.

That's my understanding but I will happily stand corrected if somebody knows better! I haven't tried it with my ps3 yet because the PSN has been down so long and also because I have just bought a lynksys cable router for 15 quid in a stock clearance to check if my new netgear is causing problems. I am not getting the stable latency I would expect on FTTC, being only 150m or so from my street cabinet.

I've recently bought the Netgear wndr3300 cable router for the new fibre connection and I am not to impressed with it's performance. I need to check if it's faulty or just s**te before I start looking for other reasons, such as interference or congestion.

The sooner I get time to sort out a proper network, the better.
