ok at first i thought this problem was something else but i've narrowed it down
ive noticed over the last few months my internet speed would suddenly slow down
id check it with speedtest.net my normal speed is 30megs
but when it slows it drops to between 1-2 megs and i don't normally notice until netflix or youtube buffers at which point i will run speedtest.net and it reports internet speed between 1-2 megs
when i contacted my isp they say the line is all working and there is no problem
but here is where it gets strange and ive found the problem
when my son downloads he makes the whole internet slow on every connection
so at first i was thinking maybe he using all the bandwidth but his download on steam is about 4megs and yet the remaining bandwidth for everyone one else is less than 1 meg
as soon as he stop downloading the internet speeds up for everyone
how is this happening ?
