On MW2, I used to find like 30 potential matches at a time and get in almost instantly, but now I find 1 or 2, and it takes a good 5 minutes + to actually get in a match. Even though there is 50K+ people playing on the TDM playlist. And when I get the match I always have a 1/2 bar connection, never above a 3. And on CoD 4 I'm always getting into match with 1 or 2 matched players, and that's 85% of the time, and also a 2/3 bar most of the time.
Nothing has change with my internet, I actually used to pull host. I use an ethernet cord, not the wireless adapter. Is there any way I can speed up my connection? Or does anyone have an idea why my speed is not up to par anymore? If I'm in the wrong section please move me:p.
Have you tried running an Internet Test? that might help you find out what your internet speed.
Also, when you go onto the Multiplayer Menu in MW2, what is your NAT? is it open, medium, or closed? and, if it is medium or strict, was it open before?
Having a medium/strict NAT will make you not able to connect to people as easily, and will only allow you to connect to people with good connections.
An open NAT Will allow you to connect to more people.
