    I get that sometimes in Splatoon. Could just be a congestion issue?
    What game(s) is it affecting?

    I think Splatoon is very shaky when it comes to net connection. Moreso than the other Wii U games. Try playing it off-peak and see if he connects then.

    Three PAYG might be fine for regular browsing and emails, but you need a solid steady connection for online gaming unfortunately. If the signal dips or drops (even for a second), you can get booted from a multiplayer game.

    As cherryghost said, try during offpeak times and see if it improves.

    During the testfire, that error was rumoured to mean the slot you were trying to get into was filled by someone else.
