Yes I agree with Fresh'. It doesn't quite work that way. I myself am in a similar situation. Except -- I -- am the guy with multiple pc's. I earlier had the family upstairs freaking about what was happening on the router. (they had an old router and it was dying) then after they got a new router, configuration "troubles" surfaced. I don't know why, all I know is a non-computer / software savvy person kept toying with the router to his great dissatisfaction. He thought that b/c I had a lot of pc's that I was "sucking up all the juice".
The kids upstairs (two teenagers) doing internet gaming PROBABLY were the source of bandwidth issues, what with peer to peer downloading and adware and GodKnows what stuck on their pc's.
All I ever did was upload a couple html pages now and then. OR occaisionally download a bootleg movie. THEN (during movie download) I probably sucked up some bandwidth.
Try to find out what he does on the inet. and determine bandwidth usage. Or maybe find some monitoring software at a site with lots of freeware like
www.snapfiles.com maybe you can determine for yourself how much he's using.
me? lately I can't even get ON the inet to get a darn eMail!!!!
very frustrating. And now I'm worried that the family above HAS limited either power output (to physically lower my connectivity) or perhaps throttled my connectivity b/c I am a "computer guy" sucking up all the "juice".
It's funny , if it wasn't such a pain.
I just wanna get eMail man... LoL
you gotta find out what he "does" with it, and monitor usage if you can.
