Hello everybody. My internet speed is quite decent. I don't use much of it when I am using the computer. But one thing that really irritates me is how little bandwidth I get when my siblings are using it too. I usually play MMO games like World of Tanks and MW3 and those 2 games shouldn't take up a ton of the bandwidth. But, whenever my siblings are streaming netflix or playing online browser games, the ping on the games I am playing just goes wacko. It goes really high for a few seconds and then back to really low and then calms down at a pretty moderate value. Is there any way I can reserve like 20% of my internet bandwidth for the games I play? I read an article online that forces Windows to take up 100% of all the bandwidth but I don't want that. Solutions?
