I don't know the last time you have played bullet chess on chess.com, but I haven't had any problems recently. I think an occasional lag is unavoidable, just because people's internets are not the same speeds. Also, I think that cheap tricks when playing bullet should be expected on any site, that's why 1 minute speed chess is so intense/fun.
