Hey, lag is a killer when it gets out of hand. Being a world of warcraft player im all to familiar with lag and to answer your question yes lag can give other players an advantage over you. If its realy bad you could be dead before you know it, if its minimal then your gonna get some seriously glitchy game play which will effect your performance.
On the other hand if your geting full use of ur 1mb line and another player is using a 2 or 3 mb line there shouldnt be any problems since any gane ive played uses less than 100kbs. Most games ive found run very well on a good performing 1mb line.
As for forced lag by hosts.... never heard of it so i cant give u an answer. If anyone else reading this has then please give ur 2 cents
