Nice Internet! Mines 370kbs, wired, USA. It's fast enough for me and I never lag.
Thanks for the reply, but 370 kbps or Kbps and is that upload or download ?
Download
Download eh, so your upload is less then that i presume ? Somewhere half or 1/4th of your download ?
Then your connection is too slow for it to be any good.
For a decent behavior you will need 4 mbps download and 1 mbps upload, anything lower then that is useless.
Thanks for the info though, it seems your kind of internet connection is what makes me ( and others ) host each time.
No offense, but it's your kind of crappy connections that makes us lag while you have a blast as you will probably never ever be host.
Thanks for proving my point.
I hope to see more posts

Sorry dude, I just don't got a lot of money. Sorry if I'm making u guys lag. D:
No worries, it's not just you, it's people in general that are on such connections.
I do not mean to ruin your experience in any way, just wanted to make a point here.
The system should combine players on connections like yours together, so that will even out the balance more.
Same goes for my connection, the game should combine gamers with similar speeds and the system should wart off those with much slower speeds and should place them into a different group.
That would make everybody happy, slow net players combined with other slow net players would even out the balance, same goes for fast net players, etc. Seems so simple to me.... -

Therefore, I have no clue what you are talking about. Host advantage is like god mode in this game.
If you are going negative on host, you may just not be very good at this at all.
Jeez guy, please READ the first part.
I asked to post your speeds, i did NOT ask to get a dumb response like yours..." you're no good at it...blah blah"
Seeing that you have almost never been host, proves my point and you are probably on some cheeap internet connection, something like less then 1 mbit download and less then 512 kbps upload. In that case, yes, you are one of those as well that pester the hell out of the game for others by using their connections. THEY pay for a decent internet, you do NOT....yet YOU reap the benefits of that and that...my friend...is SO UNFAIR...
oh and before you start a flamewar...it has absolutely NOTHING to do with skill...

I'm guessing his connection is 3.7mbps download and 750k upload which is not slow enough to cause problems. I have a 6mbps DL and 1mbps UL connection and rarely have any lag. Really the only time I have lag is when I am selected as host, at which time I leave the game because I know my connection isn't fast enough to be a reliable host.
Even with his "crappy" connection I'm sure he continually gets 3 or 4 bars just as I do. The people who are getting 1 and 2 bar connections screwing up the game are usually a random guy 1200-1600 miles away from the host.
Local or Locale Only searches alleviates most of the connection issues with this game. I just wish more people would use the option. -

PLEASE WATCH VIDEO:

and if this doesnt happen then it does a connection lose on me and then kicks me and kills the complete game.
Wow, finally someone in the US with decent internet
...and what do you see...as soon as one has decent internet, you get raped by the game for having it...
thanks mate for assisting in proving this.. -

You realize that not everyone has access to ultra high speed internet, right? In Europe those ultra high speeds are commonplace because the countries are smaller so the lines aren't as long. Here in the USA we are spread out quite a bit and only the big cities have the ultra high speed internet. Most of the smaller towns don't have access to speeds fast enough to stream Netflix in HD. I live in a small town (3600 pop) in Kansas and we just recently got the 6mb/1mb internet option. We don't even have HD programming with our cable, you gotta get satellite for HD.
