Only got Ps3 but never had an issue with PSN, and played Live on mates consoles in the past. Could never
tell the difference on games of FIFA or Battlefield. End of the day servers arn't gonna influence if someones connection itself isn't up to speed.

Yes it does, the way matchmaking works on each service would mean deciding if you get to play with mainly those closest to you or crap games with someone halfway across the globe.  Then there is a element of whether there is efforts by the console manufacturer to limit match making within regions or not.  Just because you haven't noticed a difference doesn't mean there isn't or cannot be.  Items such as more ports being required by the different services could also have a bearing on user experience.  I think your main point is probably that the host connection matters most ultimately which is of course accurate.

 Well all the games I play online seem to be EA games anyway which seem to have some sort of ping based match making as I never don't get a smooth game nowadays. Or maybe everyone who plays the thing are just European so you're always gonna be fine for lag.

 I grew up on Socom 2 playing Swedish and Finnish clans so I'm well adjusted to lag anyway, so everything nowadays probably feels stupidly smooth :P.

On Gears 2 a lot of cheaters used to use lag switches to force host selection in their favour.  I've never been a fan of matchmaking on any service as being a PC gamer predominantly in the past I like being able to choose my server.  P2P hosting is crap but its all they'll let us have bar on the odd exception.
