So I have traveled back home from school to my parents house with my desktop thinking I would get some starcraft in, but I have been having problems with latency.

I know about the whole port forwarding issues when hosting games, and I was having problems with that. I decided to just put myself in the DMZ and that has been fine port wise. I used port forward's port checker and every port seems to be open for me.

Even with this I am still having latency problems. If people are able to join my game, it frequently goes to the drop countdown and the player is dropped within the first minute or two.

My parents connection is fast, 9.6 down and 1.6 up on a speed test I did a second ago.

If it is any use, my usual latency on iCCup is around 630.

Any suggestions on the problem?

I can't help, but I can say that I'm in a similar situation. I think our ISP's may have something to do with it.

This happens for me.

I think its usually because your house might be wired with another router that controls all the home connections, its usually in a box in a closet somewhere and for some reason I can't access mine, so no 2v2 or creating games for me
Can you ever argue in favor of something without first proving it?

My house just has one router. I know the system here pretty well.
