When playing Modern Warfare 3 (PS3), it seems like I'm killed by a single bullet constantly. When I watch the kill cam, it looks like the other player shot me 4-5 times. Is my internet connection too slow?
Running a speed test averages 55ms ping, 24 Mbps down, and 1 Mbps up. The PS3 is connected via hardline (Cat6) to my router, so there shouldn't be too much speed loss on the intranet.
What can I do to make my multi-player experience more enjoyable?

Probably the opposite, i.e. your connection is too good and you are being screwed by the 'lag compensation' logic that Activision has seen fit to implement. I have a 50Mb down, 5Mb up and typically get 15ms or less on speedtest.net and MW3 is unplayable for me either as host or when another player is host.
Google 'lag compensation' and check out the blogs as there are many other people experiencing the same problem.
If Activision don't sort this out then they'll never get my business again. MW2 was OK, Black Ops was bad but MW3 is the worst online experience I've ever had!
