can you try this with people online other than your friends, just try finding other players online and confirm. I've experienced similar things with multiple friends and the issue was on their ends.
Assuming you get this with everyone online, i would be looking at things that may have changed on your internal network, new routers, other new devices connecting, other people using the internet at the same time? Has anything at all changed on your network?
