Cannot join multiplayer on PS3

For the past 3 days i cannot join a multiplayer game.It just stays on the loading screen for that particular map loading.

if i join a server with less than 10 players i might get connected on to stop playing after 3 minutes because of severe lag or freezing.

I reported the lag to my ISP and we did all the tests.There is no problem with the internet connection.

I tried playing BF3 on multiplayer...NO problems.Then BF4...Cannot play or join at all

PLEASE FIX

    The Media Server Connection allows other devices to connect to your PLAYSTATION 3. Often, the Media Server Connection is known to cause issues when players try to connect to the Internet for online game play.

    1. Access your Xross Media Bar menu
    2. Navigate to Settings
    3. Select Network Settings
    4. Select Media Server Connection and choose the Disable option.

    Turn off the Media Service connection can slower your PS3 internet connection (especially for downloading).

    Please enable the following online ports on your connection:
    TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 10000-10100, 17502, 42127
    UDP: 3659, 14000-14016
    For specific instructions on how to open your ports, please visit http://www.portforward.com/ or contact your router manufacturer.

    If that doesn’t work, you can try to use the Google DNS service.

    Some people reported that changing their DNS to the Google DNS (Primary: 8.8.8.8, Alternative: 8.8.4.4) solved the issue. These can slower your connection as well.
