Get a better connection then. I just played two double team games just now without host and got first both times, so host does'nt matter all the time.

The bandwidth of your internet connection is not the only factor in deciding host.

I get host 75% of the time in double team even with a relatively crappy connection in England. But that may be because I play with a friend that lives nearby so it may make more sense to give it to one of us as the other players are much further away from eachother than we are

As for you I don't know maybe you're just unlucky.

I always thought is was your upload speed that is the deciding factor

I would say that the whole "deciding who's host" thing is mostly based on ping. Whoever has the lowest overall ping to everybody else in the game gets host. I haven't gotten host in months because I always have a gigantic ping (wireless ISP).
