Help with port forwarding!

tbh it could be one of so many things, it could be a crappy modem, ISP restrictions etc etc.

When you get your new router it "should" make diagnosing things a good deal easier as you have total admin control and it will also give you the ability to setup a test service on your PC using the same ports as your p2p/playstation and then you can get a friend to access it remotly and see what the performance is like.

You could try your ISPs tech support and ask them why your playstation has lousy access. As you say it could be latency or maybe your ISP has just throttled a huge range of port numbers.
 
i suggest you get something that can run openWRT + X-Wrt, alot of people use DD-WRT but i really like openWRT alot more, if you could run it you would probably figure out why real quick.
