I don't know of anyone else having this problem right now but you never know .
All you can do is reset your router , try clearing GT cache from the options menu , try a wired connection or ..... Nope that's all I got .

Good luck
 
GT works on a lobby system that relies on every single persons connection in that room.

So, you can have an amazing connection and still have problems due to other users.

Download speed is not important unless you're under 1mbps or something silly, ping/latency is the thing you need to watch out for with online gaming.

That is, the time it takes for data to go to another person and return back to you, and geographically this will take longer and sometimes certain data will not make it back to you, which creates the choppy lag that you see, and sometimes even full on disconnections.

Although, disconnects have been more prominent lately and it seems to be entire lobbies that disconnect not just one person. That's no good for a popular online game.

You can test "Ping" times by going on google and searching pingtest, but that of course is only testing it against a random server that is probably close to you, there's no way to tell what your ping time is against a person on GT.

These settings work well for me most of the time: If you create a lobby set the quality to three stars not five, disable voice, set the room to friends only. Don't use fixed host. If you are still having trouble try switching off music. No guarantees that this will help, but it might.

How do you clear cache? Could someone tell me step by step?

I've been having the same issues as the other poster. Tried all that and am getting disconnected even before anyone else joins the room.

This only started recently for me. I used to be able to have my laptop using the wifi and voice chat enabled with the rare problem
 
Network has good and bad days, some days you'll see a constant cycle of people disconnecting and reconnecting, not much you can do but here's a tip: if you have trouble joining a room ("you cannot currently join this room...") join any other room temporarily then leave and rejoin, resets connection most of the time :)
 
Switching to Google DNS or OpenDNS servers can help too. Had a few members getting disconnects and this helped them. Your ISP providers DNS can be too slow sometimes causing you to get a disconnect. Try the following. It won't hurt anything and might help. I use them and it seems to be more stable. I have Time Warner Cable and they even recommended this too me.

Go to the XBM Menu
Network Settings
Internet Connection Settings
OK
Custom
Wired or Wireless (wired is preferred if you can)
Auto-Detect
IP Address Setting = Automatic
DHCP = Do Not Set
DNS Setting = Manual
Primary DNS = 208.67.222.222 is OpenDNS and 8.8.8.8 is Google DNS
Secondary DNS = 208.67.220.222 is OpenDNS and 8.8.4.4 is Google DNS
MTU = Automatic
Proxy Server = Do Not Use
MTU = Automatic
UPnP = Enable
Pres X to save

Hope this helps you

I'm having the same problem. Some days I can stay in a room for a good 30 minutes - 2 hours without experiencing lag or any other problems. Yet there are days where I disconnect after about 25 minutes or so. I don't know so much about my latency but my ping was about 48 last time I checked. So i don't have much lag issue, it's just that it seems that my connection is too inconsistent.

Is this a good fix to frequent, random disconnections as well? and does it work with wireless? I am unable to go wired since my router is a floor below me.
 
Wireless should work as well. Just remember with wireless you are transmitting a radio signal back and forth between your PS3 and router. Always a change for interference. My son and daughter both use wireless with no issues except my daughter on Call or Duty. Seems they have major server issues. You can and will get the occasional disconnect but mine have dropped to almost never since I switched.
