Yeah as unfortunatly we find our sons PS3 seems to devour bandwidth like a black hole.
We can have a PC and Laptop on at the same time, one gaming the other heavy browsing with no problem. But soon as you have one pc and the PS3 on, it just makes using the internet, even e-mails impossible.
The PS3 is only hardwired as we can have some control over how long he spends online during school nights. If there is an easy way of throttling it, if it was wireless i'd settle for doing something like that, then just powering down the router at night.
