i have my buddy (who has good internet) invite me to his party because i have AT&T DSL being shared between 5 people (which straightup blows goats).
when it makes him or someone else the host, my ping doesn't go above 200 and settles around 120 most of the time. but of course, the game chooses me as host 80% of the time leaving me with 999ping, and i have no option except to quit the match. GARBO host choice.
