Does home/away matter for connection?

[Uuaww]

I have played quite a few games now and am starting to see a pattern. When I am the home team, it seems my connection is a lot worse than when I am the away team. Today, I played Billroy twice and the first game I was home and we could barely get it to start, but when he was home, it went smooth for the entire game.

I've noticed it with my other games this season as well.

Is it a coincidence?

it's helped before for me when i was on a dorm connection, but i haven't tried it this year or last

NCAA uses a P2P connection. Which means, one of you is hosting the game. It probably doesn't even look for the best connection but instead just gives hosting responsibility to the home team.

So, when a shitty connection hosts, the game lags.

i should go as Post Katrina Tulane and play away every game then.

I saw your network speeds a while back and it was barely above a dial-up. Letting somebody else host is really the only way you're going to get a smooth game.
