I guess that the number of people who might be able to answer this is fairly low but I need to ask anyway.

So currently my household has broadband (5mbps down 0.02 up) which is pretty garbage I know but we are having fibre installed on the 5th of may. (Finally)

The current scourge of the household is one of my brothers, affectionately referred to henceforth as 'The neet' who as you might imagine sits on the sofa gorging food all day and marathoning House/Top Gear 24/7 on netflix. This shits up the connection for the rest of us who actually do something with our lives, i.e Me for when I've finished studying and shit.

Rambling over, the simple question is;
If you have fibre optic internet/superfast MLG connectionshit, and someone in your house is streaming netflix while you are playing an online game - do you still suffer from horrendous lag or is it just stream away/game away etc.

plskthnxbai

I get up to 30mbps down. The only time I have a problem is when the internet decides to be a fat cunt and goes slow. Other than that it's completely fine.

To be honest he probably needs warfarin to counteract the diabeetus clogging his arteries.

I'd say you should just make a speedtest again while your brother's watching Netflix and see how fast down- and upload is.

And to see if there is lag or not I suggest the empirical method - just try it.

I do something similar but easier to constantly monitor

CMD ping 8.8.8.8 -t

Standard no lag internet in this house = 32ms ping
Netflix is on = 300ms ping
Lagspike = 1400-4000ms ping

(Averages obviously, but this has been very consistent for the last 6 months that I've been monitoring this stuff)

actually you don't live in a very urban area do you? generally if you live in an area with a more dense population then your internet speed will likely take a hit depending which ISP the majority are using.

 if anything your internet should stay true to the advertised speeds

Nah, fairly rural. Not quite out in the sticks but it's quiet enough.

It's a fairly small village, mostly with old rich buggers so I'm kinda hoping that they don't spend their days torrenting <_<

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
I'd say netflix still eats up a noticeable chunk of bandwidth at 15 down, but at 30 I've got no problems.

I only have issues when I am playing over Wifi when 2 people are using Netflix but that's because of a chocked up wireless environment of 10+wireless devices.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
At first you won't notice many problems as when you get a new internet connection they give you the main line, good shit.

Then...once the ISP realises that you might actually use the advertised speeds, they downgrade your connection over time to ween you off.

Not sure which will go first, but streaming takes up more bandwidth I believe, so Netflix might get throttled first, but eventually they'll just give you total downtime periods if nobody gets the message to go outside and stop using the internet you paid for.

Source: My home internet and Uni accommodation internet. Both start great with quick speeds...both now total shite if more than 1 person uses Google.

It depends on your connection speed, the fact that it's fiber means shit if your ISP still caps you at 5mbps.

Well it looks like we are getting 80 down 40 up so I'm kinda hoping that is actually true and not just the usual advertising bullshit <.<
