Yeah I've been getting this bad as a PS3 (optimum) user. The one thing I'll note that has helped if feasible is to hard wire your connection to your router. I'll still get the rubber band lag spikes but instead of 5-10 sec variety it'll be only 2-3 secs. It would be great if we could have an alternative like these VPN's. Maybe by some miracle they'll be fixing this in 2.1.5, but I'm not holding my breath.
