If another player in the game has a bad (red, yellow) connection, that basically just means YOUR connection to THEM is not good. Mostly because of your internet service provider not covering those regions.
Example.
My ISP is Shaw Communications, when i play with anybody from North America, my connection to them is always green, but when I play with people from places like The Netherlands, my connection to them is poor because Shaw is not a big company in those parts. Also, connection to other players is based on Download and Upload from the servers. Depending on your upstream bandwidth, your game play will vary from good to poor, depending on the distance to other players, and amount of data that has to be uploaded.
If you want to check your download/upload speeds, go to http://www.speedtest.net and take a test, as upload and download speeds can drastically alter your online experience.
If you are dissatisfied with the results, maybe it's time to switch service providers!
I'm from Austria (no kangaroos there sry... ) have like 250kb/s DL and get green bar most of the time/games where i get host are far and in between. Please explain! ^^
