I lag when i shouldn't Ps3 online?

Question

I own a PS3 and Resistance Fall Of MAn my speed is adequate for no lag at 2000kbps download and 210kbps upload. I am wireless and loaded up speedtest using my Ps3 and speed came out at 1900kbps download 198 upload with 38 Ping. I simply shouldn't be lagging but sometimes it's terrible. (Like im dead before i can even start shooting :( )
My Ps3 seems to take forever loading internet pages like youtube too. Is there some reason why i lag so bad? Like i mentioned using my PS3 (which is conneted wirelessly) i still have more than adequate download and upload speeds to play lag free and yet it manages it. When i am downloading files from my PS3 it downloads at around 130 KB a second yet a page like youtuibe (as i said) takes forever
WHY??!?!?
Any help will be appreciated :)

Well there are a couple of things to troubleshoot here, the first is, is it connection related, or service related? In order to find that information out, have you tried to hard wire a connection to the PS3 and try playing the game and see if it's as bad? If you have and have found that it is just as bad, then start eliminating points between the PS3 and your modem, for instance if you have a router, then pull the router out of the picture and test that, still no change? It's entirely possible, that it may be your provider throttling your bandwidth. Recently, Comcast has come under fire for this kind of thing, moreso usually to do more with using bit torrents on computers, but it may be difficult to determine the kinds of packets there were travelling.
