Everyone is complaining about this problem since the last patch.
Personally I thought it just got fucked up and kinda reformated my ps3.
And what do you know? That fixed the problem for me amd i'm back to 4 bars.
But please I don't encourage anyone to format all his saves then come nagging how it didn't work. I'm just saying it worked for me and I don't know if it will for you.
i talked to activision they told me to delete the patch and redownload it again it might fix the problem ! iam downloading it right now !
Oh yay ! I'll try now as well
Edit: didn't work
pc version got another update today which replaced ping bars with numbers, and we can choose the max ping we want to get in the search I am playing on 64ms :D,but consoles will not get this update since it isn't on dedicated servers :P:P
Extremly helpful.
i removed the patch and re-install it the same nothing changed !
Open your nat. It'll help a lot.
i can't beacuse i have a old modem speedtouch wired i don't have a password or a user name for it .

another thing we are not alone who are complaining from issue , thousands of people are complaining too , i was reading minutes ago on the COD community forums lot of people have the same problem exactly as we are having !
Then a patch is coming soon
i solved the problem !!!!!! :D
i have oped the NAT i told ogero i have an old modem and i need its password so they sended the password by email and made DMZ to the PS3 now iam haveing 3 bars connection ! i guess when they solve the problem i will have 4 green bars !
YES !
on a side note i've noticed that playing games that don't require a lot of players ( Free for all , party games and combat training ) will give a near perfect connection.
When you go to the normal team deathmatch and 6-12 players, you will have a 2-3 bars connection ( after the last patch )
So enjoy !

yeah , did you open your NAT ?
beside i will add you on psn :wAzAntar
Yea i opened it saturday and notice an improvement in matchmaking.
I rarely got a one bar, ( except when a game had a Lebanese player in it , weird i know )
Other than it was all good especially in free for alls and party games.
Chup wroteHey,
Is anyone having connectivity problems after downloading the newest patch a couple of days back ?
I'm with IDM and i didn't have any connection problems up untill that patch.
But now all i can find is games with a latency that surpasses the 250ms ( most probably the host is a US one )
I tried to log in with the Europe account ( testing if they switched the matchmaking algorithm to a regional one ) but i faced the same problem.
Is anyone else having this problem ? Regardless of your ISP ?
I can't seem to know if it's an ISP problem or a patch one.
Cheers,

Hi guys, I use Ogero ADSL,
after downloading the latest patch Black ops 2 (1.07) on PS3, things got really ugly.
match making set to NORMAL (by default) - it takes a lot longer than before to find matches.
and when it does find a match, the connection starts with 2 bars. the minute i start moving the connection turns into a red 1 bar.

I have tried everything from switching ADSL routers to new configuration but nothing worked.
I am addicted to Playing Black-ops and this situation is unbearable.

all i can say that im surethat it is not an ISP problem since other games perform as they used (Blackops 1) (killzone .......)

kindly advise
Chup wroteOpen your nat
Ok, here is my case.
I have the old non wireless speed touch ogero router
I would appreciate it if u tell me a best router replacement brand I mean (because this one has a no DMZ option)
And if u can tell me how to do it

Thank you a lot
