maybe the PS3 is getting some big updates?
I think I read in another thread that you had your sons access to wifi restricted?
let him leave it on (maybe overnight) and check again the next day
What I have noticed and this is another wireless problem is whenever my Son gets on his PS3 and plays online games via wireless it runs over my Desktop Hard wired computer like if my computer has stalled. I have two hard wired computers (one a i7) both going directly to the ADSL modem router via there own port but as soon as he gets on I notice the Wireless and ADSL Led on the modem going gangbusters and he is away with no problem and at the same time my computer or either computers on at the same time are as slow as a wet rag. What do you think is causing this and can I fix this so I can have a share of the bandwidth needed to just use the internet and not be stuck at a stop sign.

What is the brand and model of the modem? Maybe it is time to do an upgrade

Yes he tells us when he gets his BIG updates to warn us. Some of the updates are as high as 3 G/b but this is not the problem as its normal online games he plays that causes the problem. Even the Wife complains and she uses a notebook that her connections are as slow as a wet rag.
Yes Correct my son is addicted to these online game and at an age of 18 he knows nothing about anything. At the end of the day if this means anything our internet speed via OOKla averages around 4.3M/bits per sec (TPG was 1.8 to 2.2 Mbits Per sec) so if this is the problem I would hate to see what it would be like using TPG.
Question!!
Using the internet today say on 3 devices on all at the same time and just say one is a desktop, the other is a notebook and finally the PS3 when the three of them are on line don't they share the modem equally say a third of the bandwidth each or does say the PS3 run rough shot over the other two by having the PS3 using 90% of the bandwidth leaving 10% for both the computers. It seems this is what is happening.
It sounds like the PS3 is hogging the bandwidth for his game, maybe set up some QOS on the modem (if it's available) to limit his b/w and see if that fixes it. It may be related to your other issue.

still not sure if that is your problem though but time will tell
my son used to play Xbox and PS3 games online too all the time (he's moved out now though) but we never had problems really
even when I was being a troll on the net and mrsweirdo was watching Netflix all at the same time
admittedly we have a slightly faster connection (TPG ADSL 8000 Unlimited which effectively has a max dl speed of about 6M) and using a Billion router
