So you are blaming VM for your lag when playing online? Think your problems are more widespread than that as lag affects a lot of people on different ISPs. Just because your friends can host it doesn't mean that at certain times of day they do not suffer any lag. Hosting 5 people on a limited upload bandwidth will cause issues fullstop. Is anything else running on the network while you are connecting for a game and have you tried a hardware reset on the router to make sure no settings are getting in the way that shouldn't be there. Odds are it is just a congestion problem in your area and that you have people in your geographical neighbourhood that like to P2P a lot.
