Ok. I have been having problems online with lag particularily with button lag on Pro evo 2010. My setup is:

Virgin 10 meg > Scientific Atlantica Modem > Ethernet >PS3

No other devices are connected. I've also changed my ethernet cable and removed the splitter from the virgin cable that ran to my tv box thingy so there's one run of cable straight into the modem.

The network status is nat1 on the PS3 showing direct connection to the net as it should be.

I tried a speedtest.net from my PS3 browser which gives me:

Ping 21 - 37

Download 2 - 9 meg (depending on time of day, evenings are obviously the worse)

The upload always fails from speedtest.net but I don't have a PC to try it from that so I don't know if this is a PS3 specific problem.

I have ran the internet connection test from the PS3 menu and it rated download as 2-8 meg and upload from 233-440 kbs.

Anyone got any ideas how I could improve my connection?

Also if someone could spare a couple of minutes to try a speedtest.net from their PS3 browser I'd really appreciate it just to see if the upload works for other people.

I have read several threads r.e. giving the PS3 a static I.p address and opening specific ports but I'm not sure if you can do that if you plug straight into a modem or even how to access the modem if it's possible.

I'm at the limit of my internet knowledge here so any advice would be welcomed.

p.s. Dunno if it's relevant but there are some sort of reducers both attached to the end of the virgin cable with 8bd and I think 60db (both inline). I tried taking them off but the connection got worse.
