I was disappointed they didn't include internal network latency variability like they did with disk performance. I've seen EC2 have wildly different network latencies at times, but haven't tried any of the other services.

Mean latency RSD was EC2: 8.9%; Azure: 10.3%; DigitalOcean: 23.7%; GCE: 8.9%; Rackspace: 6.1%; SoftLayer: 16.8%.

Good to know, thanks for the reply. Does this seem to change with instance type?

Not really for latency - throughput is more variable between instance type, particularly for services like Rackspace that have instance specific limits.
