Thanks for the feedback, I've sent it up to the engineers as well. I haven't gotten word back from them about this case.
In the meantime, have you read that Steam community thread in full? What I found interesting were these last two posts:
traffic, however, we limit
the network capacity available for P2P applications, which has the
effect of reducing the priority of such traffic.”
As the Steam thread reveals, using a VPN may be the solution, however, using a VPN will certainly reduce your speeds by 50%-70%.

GRIZZLY has Grand Theft Auto V Jul 4 @ 6:00pmI've also sent that thread to the engineers for reference. I know we don't block P2P traffic, but our legal site does state this: “In order to ensure fair access to all types of
*EDIT* I think I found the culprit, because my ISP is capped to 1Mbps and P2P blocked, and by research I found that perhaps Social Club and GTA Online uses some sort of P2P connection, thus preventing me from going online. Hence, using a VPN with bypasses the block enables it. Oh well, that is our crappy Malaysian ISP for ya. Guess I have to stick with some local VPN for now to minimize the lag....

I FINALLY FOUND THE FIX THAT WORKED FOR ME ,
ITS A SERVER PROBLEM ROCKSTAR SOCIAL CLUB CAN'T CONNECT CAUSE OF THE SERVER , SO YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD A VPN LIKE SOFTETHER VPN AND JUST YOUTUBE HOW TO USE IT , YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE MOST OF THE SERVERS BUT KEEP TRYING ANY OF THE JAPANESE SERVERS TILL YOU GET CONNECTED WON'T TAKE MUCH TIME I PROMISE TOOK ME 20 MIN IN TOTAL AFTER DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE AND ONCE YOU ARE DONE YOU JUST HAVE TO CONNECT TO IT ONCE AND OPEN THE GAME AFTER YOU PLAY THE GAME FOR ABOUT 5 MIN U CAN UNINSTALL THE SOFTWARE SOFTETHER VPN AND PLAY THAT GAME BACK ON THE INTERNET THAT YOU USE OR OFFLINEHOPE THIS WORKS FOR YOU CAUSE I HAD YOUR SIMILAR ISSUE
after issuing a ticket to rockstar about the server issues and vpn , after a couple of hours when i tried the online without the vpn i was able to sign and they sent some form to agree to and was able to play with no server issues again .. so i'd advise you to send a ticket to rockstar about this issue with your social club id and steam id .
