Low ping, high latency/ rubberbanding in battlefield 4

I have 10-50 ping, yet I'm lagging really badly in battlefield 4, with extreme rubberbanding consistently. I get 28-45mb down through speedtest.net tests, and 11mb+ up so I don't think this should be...

    Thanks. I asked around for any other possible causes and have a couple of things worth checking if the problem persists after the clean boot.

    If you use Wifi, try connecting with an ethernet cable. If the rubberbanding goes away, then it'll be a wifi issue. We have also heard of cases where network card issues were at fault, perhaps refreshing the drivers will help.

    Also, to jump on another fairly random cause, if you keep connecting to servers in the same geographical region, try connecting to one a completely separate direction and test if the issue persists. This is in case there's an issue along the route.

House is empty, I'm the only one using any bandwidth and I'm still having issues.
I haven't tried from a clean boot, but I exit all third-party programs and processes (usually skydrive, raptr, dropbox, etc.) through task manager before I begin playing. It helps a little, as I used to just lag in place for the entire match, whereas I can now walk three to four steps before I start rubberbanding, but that's still unbearable to play, especially since I usually have to complete every action (changing weapons, throwing grenades, reviving others) three to four times before it actually regesters entirely. For example, I'll swap weapons, and the weapon will swap half way then revert to my original weapon two to three times before the action actually regesters.

I haven't heard any complaints in terms of other players being affected. No one has ever had any issues killing me (ha), so I'm not sure if my uploading speeds are an issue here, but I could very much be wrong. Thanks again for your time!

    The homepage says they're rolling out new servers. Since that notice has popped up, my lag has been at a fairly steady rate, and the game is once again playable. Glad to see it's nothing on my end, 'cause I don't know what I would have done otherwise! Regardless, really appreciate your time and effort, nice to see things finally being resolved. Cheers!
