I'm on PS3 and am yet to have any lag trouble, and I live in the middle of nowhere. I have a pretty stable ADSL connection, but there's a sea between me and the nearest other country, which also happens to be where the only line to the rest of the world comes from...
If I'm getting a lag-free game on PS3, and you're not, then it's certainly not because of how awesome my connection is - I'd say that the PS3 netcode is up to the right level.
But, of course, there is still plenty of instability in PSN while it's not up at full capacity, so the people complaining might need to wait for Sony to fix it, not SD.
And a fairly large majority of games intended for online play release with subpar performance early on - the internet's a complicated thing, and if you're using P2P, even moreso - we just need to give SD the time to sort this out, and with them having said they're working on it already, I'm far more inclined to trust them than some companies. Especially given their history, and Bethesda's, of actually fixing problems.
