Need help bad with PS3 online lag

I am at my wits end with my Playstation 3 and my Plusnet broadband, I have tried the router PN provided which is garbage, I have then gone to my Netgear router, opened all ports required and then put the router into a DMZ as the last option, but I just can not play Fifa 10 on my PS3 online.  My problems started with Fifa 09 and have continued to Fifa 10.
If I try and play team play or be a pro with my club the games will either kick me b4 its even started, or if I manage to actually get it to start then I lag so bad I cannot control the player, the lag appears before the game even starts through with is taking a good 3-6 seconds for my player to be ready after I have clicked the button.  When I am ingame I will lag and then see all the players run like superman why the game catches up.  When I am in it goes betwwen very smooth play and then unplayable lag.
I am on  unlimited but will be moving to Pro on the next nilling date, but I really need some help understanding just why it seems I lag so much.
All the complaints I am readig about Fifa is people getting kicked but they have not complained about lag.  I have an awful ping in WOW which is around 250 any time of the day.  I have noticed that my connection is better during the day also, basiacally at night I cant even play the PS3 online.  I have tried 5 team games tonight and havent made it to half time yet in any of them.  Interleving had now also been switched off.
Only other option I can try is to try my PS3 on a friends broadband and see what happens.  Any other ideas?

Whether its ISP's or EA's fault, anything on EA's servers are notoriously bad, i dont even bother trying anymore as no-one has the answer!

Re: Need help bad with PS3 online lag

Well put my PS3 onto the broadband by Wireless earier and have managed to play a 10v10 game and a pro club game without any issues, we will see tonight if it is linked to the time I play as its mostly during the evening I see a massive downgrade in service.

Super Wireless ADSL Router DG834GT
Running it under wireless has given me the only game of Fifa 10 which I have managed to stay logged in for the full match.
The one common aspect is that I tend to get the worse lag past 6pm, so the real test will be tonight.

Re: Need help bad with PS3 online lag

Just be doing some testing ith wireless and wired using the inbuilt PS3 speed test.
With wireless it gives me a Download speed of "5-6 mbps" with wired "2.1 mbps", tried 3 different cables for the wired connection.  This is really strange????

Suspect speed test is a bit broken Smiley

Re: Need help bad with PS3 online lag

Yeah that does look a bit odd, what is it reporting for your NAT type?

Re: Need help bad with PS3 online lag

Ok now I am really confused, when I set up my PS3 to wired I was told to enter the router ip in the Primary DNS address which is what I did that gives me 2.1 Mbps on the connection test.
Reading around I have been told to put the Primary DNS as 4.2.2.2 when I do this I get over 5.5 Mbps on the speedtest wired constant, this was also the DNS I was using for the wireless connection which might explain why it was so much higher.

Re: Need help bad with PS3 online lag

What about from a PC, is this a connection issue rather than just a ps3 issue?
