    Hello, I'm a non-premium user, so I depend on points to DL things, most of the time that is no big deal since i can DL whatever I need in a few mins, no thtecase with ome NGC games though, they constantly slow down to the point it gets inrerrupted, any idea why this is? I'm using chrome and stting on a 5MB connection (and it works fine for everything else)

    5MB or 5Mb? theres a factor 8 difference. connection speed is usually measured in Mb.

    Also if your connection is cable, most cable companies, if not all, have this system called powerboost which basically gives you a massive speed boost for the first few hundred MB and then slows right down. Allegedly it's to help you download stuff quicker, but the real reason is because it screws up speed tests so you can't tell if they're giving you the service you're paying for or not.
