With the most recent bombcast discussion on the problematic download speeds and even around the forums over the years since the launch of the PSN, people seem to bitch and whine that it's 'Sony's problem, not mine, my connection gets xx Mbs......'

NEWSFLASH! It's not Sony problem it's (probably) your ISP's DNS Server

Blog entry `Super Slow Download?!?` by Punched Chimera. My ps4 tests at 3.4 mbps the patcher is running at 0.19mbps 300+minutes to go. Jenova-my ps4 says I should be downloading at like 16 mbps but when I download the patch it goes to under 2. Is that normal? Post a Comment. You must be logged in to post comments. Community Wall. Then he laughed. “And plus for myself I’m downloading the patch.” That was Thursday, June 15, a day before the early access launch of Final Fantasy XIV’s newest expansion, Stormblood. In the days following our chat, Stormblood would.

What is DNS?

It's the telephone book for the computers and the internet, I point my browser to giantbomb.com my computer goes to 205.251.253.199

It's used to make the internet browse-able without having to remember long random addresses and is also used for load balancing, which I will be explain momentarily

How does DNS factor in the connection speed of your PSN downloads?

Without using DNS, the PS3 would have to be hardcoded to contact the SAME IP address as everyone else which is just unfeasible in this day in age of the millions of systems logging in at once

With DNS, the PS3 resolves (gets IP Addresses from the configured DNS server) PSN servers then connects to them. This includes the content/download servers.

To lay this out I need to first go over process downloading something from the PSN

When a download is about to take place the PS3 has to retrieve a IP address from the DNS server for hostname (human-readible address eg. zeus.dl.playstation.net) of the download servers.

ISP DNS servers are typically not as advanced or robust as Public DNS servers such as OpenDNS or Google DNS, mostly because they are not 'location-sensitive' or load sensitive.

Being location and load sensitive is important and will affect speed and stability in a connection, take a look at screen cap below of the OpenDNS cache for one of PSN's Download servers

Each DNS server farm for OpenDNS resolves to a different IP address then other location of which are location optimized

Now lets take a look at some ISP DNS servers

So lets breakdown the list here; Speakeasy in Texas, Verizon in Rhode Island and Cox in Arizona ALL point to the SAME IP addresses! That's a lot of users to point to 2 individual addresses

What to try?

First you need to pick a DNS server

my recommendations

OpenDNS is very reliable and has several server farms throughout the world

208.67.222.222

208.67.220.220

Google Public DNS

8.8.8.8

and Done

IMPORTANT: RESTART YOUR PS3 to completely clear out any previous DNS information

NOTE: If you don't see a improvement, try another a different DNS Server

If you don't see improvement after trying 2-3 different DNS servers you have routing issue caused by your internet service provider
