Anyone else having problems with the multiplayer?

I think I've played in at least 8 games, and only 2 of them have come to completion.

A lot of times what'll happen is everything LOOKS normal, but I notice that my opponet isn't making much of a response to my attacks, just some imps and defenses on autopilot.  Then the game will just mysteriously end and it'll put me on the stats screen.  Not sure if it's just getting out of synch, or maybe the people hosting games are always the people with the crappiest connections, and they just dump everyone after 30 minutes...  Any other experiences out there?  Just seems like I have an awful lot of mid-game disconnections.

I have a P2-500 with 128 megs of RAM and an @Home cable modem.  Runs perfect singleplayer, and I never have trouble with other online games (EQ, TF, Q2, R6, TA:K, etc, etc), so I can't imagine it's me.  Maybe multiplayer is just an underworked feature?
