Yesterday i had my internet connection upgraded. It's part of a relatively new package of TV + Telephone + Internet that my ADSL internet provider is selling now. It comes out cheaper than what i had before so i subscribed it. I used to have a 3.5 Mbps connection and now it's at 11.5 Mbps. Those are the real download speeds, tested them myself. Upload speed increased significantly too. I don't need to say that the differences are huge. Downloads are much more faster and browsing the internet is a lot faster too.

It seems this has brought me a problem though. I can play Killzone 2, Resistance and even Mortal Kombat 2 online without a single hiccup, but i can't find a single match of SF4 to play. Whenever i search for a game i can't find any, it says there are no sessions available all the time. The only way i managed to play was by hosting a game and even that was crap, with lag all over the place.

I don't know what is happening. Was this just a temporary problem with SF4 online or am i doomed to not being able to play a single decent SF4 online match again, even with my friends?

I'm not technically savvy when it comes to this online play thing. Can someone enlighten me about what's going on?

Did you check if your NAT settings had changed? They can change automatically back to Type 3 even if you don't change any settings on the PS3, quite irritating.

It'll be temporary probably, we can test it out if you want. Atleast it means I'd be able to beat you like that

Cool faster internet speed... I NEED that...
The SFIV problem is weird... sorry, can't help you with that, i don't understand much of it...

Well guys, apparently the problem is with the game. I have a PSN friend that has the same issue. Lets hope Capcom fixes this soon and gives us a proper tournament mode where i can play with my friends just for fun. This last update was so disappointing...
Thanks for your replies.
Btw, for my Portuguese friends that are interested, my new improved internet service is from Meo.

yeah im definitely going to get Meo...when the cable system is available that is looll
But sometimes i do have problems with the box of the tv...like, all of the sudden it jams, pretty weird

Maikedi - Umm, i hope that doesn't happen to me. So far so good.

Manda - Thanks.

Afonso - Yes, the service comes with a wireless router with 4 ethernet ports for wired connections. Equipment and installation, all free of charge.

Is Meo cool??? I've Artelecom and i'm happy. And it's not very expensive.

good to find another portuguese person around this! My PS internet connection went wrong yesterday, not sure what happened but will manage it soon! maybe its temp ...

I think people got tired of SF4 pretty fast
Posted May 16, 2009 8:15 am PT
I don't have an idea....SFIV is meant to be brilliant online with no issues mentioned....Maybe it is because it is searching for games that have people with the same connection speed as you and nobody has lol. See you online m8...
