Lag comp doesn't throttle your connection, it tries to "equal out" what everyone sees from one vantage point. It tries to make everyone on the same page when in fact you may be on page 3 when I am on page 4 and so on.
What the problem is, or at least the perception of the problem, people with slower connections seem to get a benefit from the current setup of their lag compensation. In the past the host had a slight advantage, he would see player A at a point in the map and be able to shoot them first and get the kill. Now it seems to be the opposite. The system has adjusted where Player A is but now the host doesn't see them there yet. Player A gets the kill.
What kills me is that I see people skipping around the screen but yet I have 4 bars and they have 4 bars. If we both have that good of connections to the host I shouldn't see any skipping! Their tolerances are way off, this has been an issue since MW2 and they have not adjusted.
