You're referring to specific games and their speeds, which can affect everything from not even being able to connect, to having latency issues.  I'm referring to simply going to the "Test Connection" screen on the PS3 and looking at the download and upload speeds independent of any gaming servers/ports.  The speed is less than 1/3 of what I get on my computers.  I put my PS3 in the DMZ of the 2-Wire, which should open up all ports, so opening individual ports wouldn't help would it?  

i'm just wondering why the PS3 connection is so slow, and I've yet to read or hear a good answer.
