PS Vita: General Discussion

No problems with my Vita on Virgin.

I get between 8 and 10mb DL and for a hand held that very good I would have thought

All depends on the contention ratios. Clearly your area is good, the OP not so good.

My vita seems slower than I would expect - the intenet test maxes at around 13Mbps and I have BT Infinity2 which gives me over 70Mbps. My PS3 only reports a maximum of 20Mbps and that is through a wired connection. (tbh I haven't checked since the upgrade form infinity to infnity 2 so may be better now) Although I have wireless N the Vita only ever seems to connect at 54Mbps, my Macbook is connecting at 130Mbps at the same time so it isn't a slow device dragging the speed down. Just wondring if there's away to make the Vita connect at full speed - I can't see anything in the settings. I have to have the router set to b/g/n because some devices I have cannot connect to wireless N (I'm looking at you PSP 3000!)

I have BT Infinity too with a maximum 80/20 connection of which I get around 70/16. My Vita download speed is pretty much the same and I believe so is my PS3. The online connectivity on the Vita isn't as good as it should be and that's probably the best you will get I'm afraid. I don't know if it's possible for Sony to modify the firmware to improve this or not. This is why I just download my Vita content on my PS3 and then transfer it.

My home broadband is running at about 1 megabit per second; my Vita downloads stuff at this speed. Hurray.

yes im using wireless N, I am mostly wired at my house with the exception of a few devices.. my netbook maxes out at 50mb no problem...

[WalterWJR]

this is why your speeds are ok becuase it seems 500-800mb is the maximum vita will download from PSN

Im going to change my wireless channel on the router and see if it makes a difference

[ikromah2011]

R u kidding me. My nat type is 3 and it took me 33 hours to download fifa or 2190 minutes. literally

[ikromah2011]

Mine downloads 40kbps!!

I know people think its all the download speed to blame but given the crappy write times of the Memory Cards downloads take longer. Remember that everything you download to the vita is stored in the Memory card. If you do a speed test on the browser you should get your full download speed. Yet when you download something from PSN it's slow because the write speed on the cards is slow.
