Calm down. Everyone has had different experiences apparently. There's lots of reasons for this, from your total bandwidth, your average latency, and the number of xboxes on your LAN. Not to mention improperly configured routers, which also causes a significant amount of lag.
I could be wrong, but it has been my experience that the Host advantage has already been eliminated or at least minimized. It has also been my experience that the host gets a HORRIBLE handicap about every 4 games or so, and usually quits because of it, sending everyone to blue screen.
Bungie has been very frugal with information regarding Halo's networking for good reason, so I wouldn't expect Bungie to respond to any direct suggestions. The best you can do is to explain the specific problems you've encountered AFTER troubleshooting your end first. If enough people have the same issue, then I'm sure Bungie would address it.
