It could also be nothing more sinister than having a crappy ISP. I'm not sure how it is in Canada, but at least for large parts of the U.S. "high speed internet" is an oxymoron. That's one of the reasons I don't fly online.
Likewise, the host server might also have ISP problems or might lag for other "honest" reasons.
As another possibility, it could be the OS or some piece of software updating itself "in the background" - either on your computer or the server - making the game lag as a result. Unless you tell them not to, programs like Adobe Acrobat or Flash and Apple Quicktime are obnoxious about updating themselves when you're trying to do something else with your bandwidth.
That said, it would be a truly antisocial action if an online player in a bad position can somehow make the server lag by flooding it with useless info, or or worse yet mess with an opponent's connectivity. Something like that would make me think less in terms of "ban for life" and more in terms of "slow and painful death" for the offender.
