I've given a detailed explanation in one of the other threads as to how upstream could get into trouble (you can search for it as well as I can - sorry!) yet downstream looks OK. Thus your PS3 in current circumstances may hot the problem.

Try it by all means because you haven't yet commented on a gaming experience. For gaming, 10 or 20 Mbps makes very little difference given the types of packets being sent/received and their content.

Let us know.

As regards "red tape" - it's old mainframe speak in this case for overheads suchas headers, checksums and so on that occur in a packet. 10 might be a bit high but it's damn convenient. And the factor it varies by MTU size (which you can also look up)!
