Can you hook up a PS3 to the internet by using a phone line jack in the wall?

Question

Wanted to know if i could get internet on my ps3 using the a phone line connection to the phone line jack in the wall instead of an ethernet cable. And I dont have wireless internet either.

Answer 1

No, dial-up connection won't work, you need a brodband one. Also that cable isn't right, since PS3 uses Ethernet RJ-45 cable. Dial-up connection is too slow, that speed won't allow you to play online and downloading even a tiny demo will take days.

Answer 2

Technically, No But Yes: If the phone line is connected to a modem And the modem has to have an ethernet cable The ethernet cable connects the PS3s backside. And there you go, you should now have internet Basically: -No you can't connect a phone line directly into the PS3 -You have to have a modem connected by a ethernet cable(If you don't have a modem, ask your Internet Provider to get one example:AT&T) It goes like this: PhoneLine>Modem by EthernetCable>Ethernet>PS3

Answer 3

NO, you have to use the Ethernet cable with the PS3. The PS3 doesn't have a connection for a phone line.

If you have a wireless network in your home and you have the 40GB, 60GB, or 80GB PS3's, the PS3 can connect to the internet wirelessly.

Answer 4

nope sorry.... but just try the wireless cuz since the ps3 has built in wi-fi you can probably mooch off the signal coming from your neighbors.... try it!:D

hope this helped you out!:D
