We've been looking into the lag and rubber banding issues in the game, and determined the cause. Unfortunately, the cause was a fix we'd put in place to fix an entirely different bug - that Captains were getting their skills invalidated by claiming Tier 6 reputations. Because the lag is a larger issue throughout the game, we've decided to remove the previous fix as of a few minutes ago. This means that until our next update, where we'll be instituting a fix that should solve both problems, you should avoid claiming a Tier 6 Reputation. We apologize for the inconvenience - the fact that these two things are even related is mind boggling, but that's coding for you.
Still seeing the rubber banding. But I did have a day or two where it wasn't flinging me around a map or getting me exploded.
Then a winter storm drifted in with sleet and below-freezing conditions. I had stayed off the game for a couple of days between the last "calm period" and now, and I immediately hit ping spikes when I do.
But I'm thinking weather in my local area is aggravating things. Even my ISP (Verizon) is agreeing with the potential idea that part of my issues might be weather-related.
It's getting snowy and icy on my end as well, and in the absence of anything that disproves it, I'm inclined to agree that that also plays a role.

At least we now have an answer and time scale on a fix thanks for sharing
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.
