I have 4 lines of connection, and when I play against other people with similar connections, I'm usually either as fast or slightly faster than them. However, every player with 2 or 3 lines is always 3-5 seconds faster than me (judging by the time left at the end of the game), no matter how quickly I try to play. This is not a coincidence, this is lag compensation, and I'm tired of it. It's simply unfair.
I wish there was a way to track performance against opponents by connection speed, I'd be shocked if there wasn't an obvious difference. But if there isn't, and my performance is actually the same across opponents connection qualities, I'll be happy to stand corrected.
Also, there are times when almost all my opponents have 4 lines, and other times when almost nobody does. At this point I'm pretty sure that this is the main driver of whether I gain or lose rating in a session. So I don't know, maybe there already is such differentiation, but then I wonder why it's not consistent.

Also, when I try to take matters into my own hands by refusing to play people with slow connections, I get timed out - because the majority of people all of a sudden have bad internet. At least let me play other time controls during that time. Or don't, whatever, it's your website.
