Because they are hosting the match? The host always has full bars.

Well I'm not an expert but I think it's mainly due to your proximity to whoever's hosting, the quality of your internet connection, the amount of internet traffic where you are etc....I'm sure others would correct me if I'm wrong and be able to give you a better idea.

Thats spot on.

For example... if I were hosting a match (I live in Ohio US) and another player from Ohio was playing in the same room... good chance he would have full bars.

On the other hand, If I was host... and a player from Australia was in the match, his connection would be yellow or red.

Your Internet speed plays a role... because the FASTER your speeds are the farther away from the host you can be. The slower the speed, the closer you will want to be in proximity.
