    First, I'd check if it's not my connection by pinging a bigger website like www.google.com (Start/run - then type "cmd" and in the screen that opens type "ping www.google.com" - without the "" of course) and see if the pings are constant and low (should be <100ms). If you don't host a game you'll always be depending on the connection of the host, who might be on the other side of the globe.

For PC there is a tool that someone from the BioWare forums wrote that lets you check the pings of the players in your lobby and see if there is anyone who has major ping issues:  see here.
