That is what I was basing my thought process on. If I misunderstood the symptoms, then yes I could be off.

Yeah, I was going off of Sack's posting. He said the readings from speedtest.net from his PC were higher when the PS3 was on. That leads me to believe the PS3 is doing some sort of multicast or broadcast on the local network. The only way to tell is to use a sniffer, such as Wireshark, and see what's going out on the wire.
