Baso Hey guys ever since I started playing online on my PS3 (like 2 years ago) I've always had problems joining games. In CoD for example, I can't even find <150ms games. This wasn't a really big problem though because most of the time if I rebooted the router, it would get me into a session. During the last two months though, I've been trying to do the reboot router thing but the server still wouldn't let me get into a game... about 4 months ago I switched to Sodetel's unlimited package, which lowered my Internet speed to like 750kbits/sec download/upload, but I could still play online, but now it's totally blocking me. In Red Dead Redemption for example, I can still join a session, but there would be nobody in it, same thing for mini-game lobbies. Oh and a last note: I ALWAYS have a ping of around 50ms (well at least that's what SpeedTest says) Does anybody have any idea about what could be the problem and if I could fix it? Thanks EDIT: My PS3 has a static IP that's set to DMZ Host (NAT type open all the time)
Adnan So you are with Sodetel ? In the last few days we got a latency bump which means that we are routed through satellites again. Try pinging www.google.com in a command prompt (cmd.exe in Windows): ping www.google.com -n 15

Adnan I guess you can do it on your Android using this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm Just type ping www.google.com (without the -n thing) If the link doesn't work just search "terminal emulator" in Google play (app store).

Couldn't figure out how to post an image here so here's a link to the results: http://www.mediafire.com/download/b6z30b55l8l4akz/Screenshot_2013-08-17-19-21-21.png So is the ping really of about 600ms ?
Adnan Yes, 350ms in the best cases for now. I emailed them a few days ago on the matter and they said "they don't consider it as a problem", so that sounds like they're not even thinking about ditching their crappy satellite backbones. If you want to solve your problem once for all, either go for the gaming package from Sodetel (1mbps / 15GB / $70/mo) or switch to another ISP. Good luck, we're in the same situation.
