I found rage quitting exacerbates the problem but if it starts to happen I just reset the ps4, then it doesn't happen again in the session

You guys are aware that sub-100 pings are impossible for most people on the planet, right?
You guys are aware that ping alone does not say much about connection quality, right?
If over 100ms is bad (and I agree than ANY ping is less than ideal) then you could say goodbye to at least 50% of the playerbase. Geographic distances make sub-100ms pings impossible for pretty much anything over a couple thousand miles. My ping from Patagonia to the US server fluctuates between 180 and 250ms but the connection is very stable. I have only had three disconnects in 600 races and only suffered the boot to the Sports Mode screen once. I am a web developer and networking expert so believe me it is as optimized as it can get.
Then on the other hand you have people with 30 ping but improper setup or equipment that gives them massive lag spikes at times and/or unstable connections. Some ISPs are better than others, too.
500 ping I agree is atrocious. It's most likely being caused by someone playing from a region he does not belong. In the US servers a 500 ping would likely be caused by an Asian or Middle Easterner playing with a US account.
I am sure there are also people playing with rural satellite internet which is not suitable for online gaming due to the time it takes for their signals to go round-trip to the satellite.
Everyone wants low ping but sub-100ms for everyone is a physical impossibility with current copper and fibre-optic wire technology.
By forcing max pings you will basically just reduce the userbase to near nil. That's why the most serious racing leagues vet people by geography and force ping tests on them. Of course, if GTS implemented something like that it would be the end of Sport Mode.
