Hi there,

I was wandering if you could help me with a problem of mine, I’d be very very grateful.
Okay, so here it goes: Basically, I have a new ps3 slim 120 GB, offline is fine, I have 100 percent connection(wifi), but when I play online I get disconnected almost every game. But I only have 2 games. Gta I've and Fifa 10. Both of them lag severely. And in Gta some players are invisible to me but visible to everybody else.

When I contacted my router manufacturer, they said it is not a problem with the router as I have an xbox 360 which works fine, and so does Gta on that. I have opened ports and put the ps3 into DMZ. I have also tried wired connection but nothing seemed to help. I think it may be the servers of the games, but then why is it affecting me, and not everyone.
So, please help me and reply. Because I have rang all the customer services, and not been helped at all. I really regret buying the ps3 now, those are my 2 favourite games, and I’m having problems. The 360(my brothers) works fine. Grr...

Please help, ty for reading.

Please please reply.

Don't quote me on this but the PS3 uses quite a few of resources when online. Possible a firewall could be enabled. Some traffics getting threw some isn't causing glitches online. What else do you have plugged on to your router. This could cause a drop in transfer rate. However, I did notice it is slow browsing the internet on the PC while having the PS3 online.

Yeah, If you don't have a very fast connection, say DSL as opposed to Cable, you may not have enough bandwidth for what you are trying to do. You may also have a problem with your modem. Hop on a PC and ping Yahoo or Google, your response time should be anywhere from the high twenties up to the mid sixties, but anything over a hundred usually indicates a connection error. This often happens on modems that are 2 or 3 years old.

Also check your router to see if you have things like "Block anonymous internet requests" checked. You can use as little restrictions as possible if you want the most speed out of it, and to make sure you aren't blocking one of the protocols you use.
