Yes. On this videos I've show only rubber banding, but I have also other captures with rubber banding and zig-zagging NPC's ships and very long jumps. Sometimes jump between systems are so long that animation of witch space looks like going to an end. There is no stars, nebulas and clusters. I can't tell exactly but 30-40 seconds maybe?
Game unplayable both OPEN and SOLO, Frontier please fix your game!

Interesting, if everyone who has rubber banding also has stuttering the issues could indeed be related.
It's possible indeed. Anyway it's always helpful to see the videos. Someone could notice something more than I did.
By the way, this is my hardware config:
CPU: Intel i7 7700K (not overclocked)
GPU: Zotac GTX 1080 - 8GB
RAM: G.Skill 16GB (2x8GB - 2133 Mhz)
HHD: Samsung SSD 850 EVO, 250 Go
Motherbard: Gigabyte GA-H270 Gaming 3
On those suspecting their own systems: I doubt that. I also noticed since last weekend, that the game gets more choppy when i play for a longer time. Completely restarting the game fixed it for me. (Late edit to clarify: returning to the main menu, then back to the game did not fix it. I had to completely restart the game to get back to good FPS. )
So i guess the game currently, since the last big patch, has some memory leak or something like that. Anyway, while i can't say without a doubt what the problem is, the mere fact that several people now at the same time report that they experience problems very much points towards the game. Our hardware isn't all breaking down at the same time. But we all got the new patches.

Your machine is a fair bit quicker than mine, but I'm not seeing any glitches. Before the last patch play occasionally stopped for a few seconds then continued from where it left off without jumping the gap, but I've had none of that since. Usually, I have just a browser and email client running concurrently, nothing more.
You say this as if you are not having rubber banding. Everyone I instance with (who replies) confirms the rubber-banding is happening. Just go the the CG station when there's a couple of players are there, you'll see it. It also happens on PS4, disproving the grand conspiracy that thousands of ED players had their RAM go bad the day of the September update.
So it's not the same issue, otherwise everyone would have stuttering and freezing.
During wing CZ's two nights ago the only rubberbanding was the one with a connection even dodgier than mine, he logged out and back in and it was fine after that. I used to get it a lot before improvements to my connection now I only ever get it if bandwidth drops.
You may be griefing everyone you instance with by inflicting dreadful rubberbanding on them

There have been several network related changes in the latest update. I'd say it's not unlikely that some issues affect a large part of the player base.
PS
I still don't understand how that's related to stuttering and freezing though.
I guess with Frontier P2P client model that's definitely a thing!You may be griefing everyone you instance with by inflicting dreadful rubberbanding on them
Thinking it's a dirty router.
Played 4 hours in Open yesterday, with multiple CMDRs around, in VR and while the game may have been a little slower than usual, I had no problems. Softlocks or freezes whatsoever didn't occur for me at all since the latest patch. Could be everyone had fast connections, rubberbanding for me usually occurs when one of the guys has a slow one.

O7,
One way to find out is to have a rubber-band CMDR join a silky smooth CMDR in the same instance and see what comes from it.

O7,
I'm get stuttering in Solo, so I don't think it is, except perhaps if something in the net code that also triggers due to server data moving around. My whiplash effect (new since update) is fairly deterministic, as it often happens in the same basic places - shortly after exiting hyperspace, approaching a station to dock, etc.
That said, I do not consider the game unplayable. Jarring, yes, downright annoying during a busy CG, very much so (I'd fly in Solo if I was taking the CG seriously), but I'm not getting regular freezing or lockups.
Another data point - I don't see rubber-banding when instancing with a large group of players out in the middle of nowhere, like the epic PvP battles I've joined around the CG. Therefore I conclude that the rubber-banding is caused by sharing NPC telemetry between players in areas like a station.
Personally, I think most NPC traffic should be "diverted" during a CG, like how roads are closed to make way for VIPs and military convoys. I've seen more than enough CMDR traffic at the CG station. NCPs are not needed, except perhaps a couple of police ships outside. Surely this would clean up instancing!

Since white haired heroes do not exist they can't have any bugs.Speaking of science, I notice that the whiteknightshaired heroes never have any bugs, ever, so I consider their findings a statistical anomaly that can be ignored
That's exactly when I used to get it, also when NPC wings joined CZ's. In my case it was definitely bandwidth as if you run with CTRL+B enabled you can see it spike.

Wear a hat and baffle them.
