Problems with Ps3 games online, help please.

I recently purchased a ps3 slim, but when I play online I always encounter severe lag and/or frequent game disconnections for every game. But the wifi signal says it is 100%. I have tried wired but it didn't improve the situation.

I have tried port forwarding and putting the ps3 into DMZ, neither helped.

When I contacted my router manufacturer, o2, they said it must be a problem with the ps3 as I have an xbox 360 which is fine online.

I have tried everything and I mean everything. Like:

Disabling media server connections.
Using lower graphics.
Trying a wired connection.
Forwarding ports.
Putting ps3 into DMZ.
Resetting the ps3.

O2 claimed that it isn't a problem with the router as the 360 works fine, help please...

Got a similar thing going on here too. Most of the time the PS3 signs into the network no problem, but playing games in the evening the connection drops and am sent back to the main menu (though can usually get straight back into the lobby) During the day is ok, but evening until, say midnight, is a bit of a shambles!

I'm with Virgin Broadband if that helps.......
