I think it's going to matter if there is a very fast block time. If there's a 12 second block time and it's taking 2 seconds to advertise your new block across the network, there's a 1/6 chance someone else is trying to do the same thing.

The number of connections will have no impact. The only time it might help is when the difficulty is very low and you're racing to submit blocks.

I have been solo mining from 2 locations, one must have the port open for which the coin requires, the other must not because the first one has 80 connections and the other one has only 8 connections.
Now the hardware is identical but the coins found in solo are massively different over a 1 month peroid. Every day the one with 80 connections finds x10 more coins.
Is this just probability involved with solo? or do more connections always mean far more coins?
In pooled mining it makes no difference at all.
