Why are our XBONE 6-man fireteams so bad? (Destiny)

MY THEORY: I worry that playing with people spread out all over the West is hurting our competitiveness.

During IB I have been seeing much worse lag as a whole when running a fireteam of 6. I do think part of it has to do with the distance between our fireteam.

I'm in Kansas, Raga is in Texas, North is in a shed in Alaska, Beard is in Portland and then add in some other people to the mix and out locations are spread all over.

I know this isn't the end all reason. But I seem to have better matches when running by myself or one other person compared to a fireteam of 6.
