Up until yesterday i was playing online games with no issues on ps5, pc and mobile however now (just as i purchased bf6!) i can no longer connect to gaming servers ( cod, bf6, fortnite or roblox) speeds test fine at over 500mbps and i have strong signal. Whether i connect to the three router or to my Asus wifi router it makes no difference. Does anyone have any ideas

spoke to 3 live chat and got it sorted, not sure what they did but after a reset ( which i had already done previously ) it works 🙂

Seems to be related to the 3internet APN used for mobile broadband, if you switch to three.co.uk as the APN it seems to work, with the caveat that you are now on CGNAT (which affects mainly people who host their own games or services)

You do realise when you buy a new game that the servers get overloaded due to the traffic so always think about this
