Do you have the same problems? Or feel the same way. Please tell me below.
Live Chess Very slow. Also ratings are very inflated. Before they reset the ratings I was a 1800. It very inflated, also its very slow. When I play on [other] sites there is no lag at all but as the chess.com atmosfear is nice I play on chess.com. Also there have been a few times in which my opponents have not lost on time dissipate being out of it.

If live chess is slow for you, you might wish to try the Live Chess desktop client.

It has worked miracles for me in terms of speed experience.
According to my experience, live chess ratings tend to be somewhat deflated here.

Live chess is extremely fast, and my ratings are deflated. The only issue I have with live chess is that lagers should be punished for their lag, instead of their clock going back (serious issue in 1min games), but I'm almost certainly in the minority - chess.com want to encourage people to play, not the opposite!

This story about Live Chess Ratings being inflated is getting rather tiresome. In fact most people have somewhat lower ratings in Live Chess than in OTB. Your only rating that is significantly higher than your OTB is bullet, and that one is nothing to write home about either. You are young and probably pretty quick with the mouse, so that just about explains it.
I am afraid that I cannot agree on that one. There is nothing I can do about the local Internet connection, and I don't see why I should be punished for having lag. Also, lag compensation is often not sufficient in my experience.

diemking, maybe you should not be too harsh on a 14 year old?
