PS3 error 80710723

Well after trying for 3 days I tried an afrihost capped account - frkn worked first time! Fuuuuu Telkom Internet!
 
Bummer is having to spend money on PS+ membership just to get a patch for a game you've already paid for - the ability to download game patches in the background should be a standard feature.

This feature was added in the last firmware update and no longer requires PS+ membership :)

Don't believe you, I purchased psn+ last weekend because the download feature was greyed out on the latest firmware.
 
Ive been having this same problem with trying to download a patch for my game for 3 weeks now.

None of the above solutions work and if you had this problem then you would already know that.

It seems there is no working solution.

Ive searched the web like crazy and read every blog and forum related to this error code and ive looked on the sony playstation site and tried there reccommendations to no avail.

What I have tried:

static ip address on router, playstation and every computer device in a 1 km radius.
Disconnectin every device from the router exept the ps3
phoning activision the battlefield3 makers
phoning d-link the router manufacturers
phoning telkom;
resetting port
resetting speed
new dns server 196.43.54.190/196.43.54.190
tried google dns both on router and ps3
proxy-now disabled via latest ps3 update
ethernet cable direct to modem
uninstalled game
formatted ps3 hard drive
installed the premiere content from ps store before trying download
disabled firewalls
put ps3 into dmz

none of that works.

Untill recently i actually was not ever able to download the entire 2gigg patch it kept failing during the actual download.

then i discovered that if i connected my pc to the router at the same time and streamed a radio station live it would keep the connection open and the download would not fail (genious)

but guess what, the download completes succesfully but the installation of the patch fails and then the installed game files all become corrupted and have to start all over again.

this sucks, i really don't understand why so many people have this problem but there is no actual working solution on the net.

look at the date on this post and if you have found a solution before this date then ive tried it and it doesnt work.

If you have had this exact problem and found a revolutionary solution, then please please please let me know.


I pretty much tried most of the stuff you have listed with of course no success. This is where I had to research more about the PS3 80710723 error and then one of the methods actually worked. You can also try your luck and read this article marked PS3 80710723 SOLVED. Good luck.
