Rubberbanding in game: Blacklight Retribution

[ Edited ]

I have good upload and download speed and fluctuating packet loss (0-5%) - I am hardwired into my modem. Regardless of packet loss, whether its at 5% or at 0%, I get the same rubberbanding in the game. When I play the game Blacklight Retribution I experience rubberbanding (which i believe comes from sort of spike) every 20-30 seconds while playing. The developers of the game have investigated and repaired server lag. People with other ISP's do not experience this rubberbanding issue. I have seen a number of people in game with similar low ping as me (approx 38-44ms) say they are rubberbanding as well - they all use comcast!

 

Is there something going wrong between comcast and the servers for this particular game? I would like to resolve this issue. If I get no help, I will likely simply change ISPs.....

 

Thanks

 

I ran a tracert on their website: blacklight.perfectworld.com
