Now you could say that, I don't pay the internet bill, which is true, or that, I probably do the same. I always try to be nice whenever I download steam games, or any other large file, by downloading, late at night, or whenever everyone is gone. But the can't get threw their head, that with one person downloading, something, and another watching Netflix, the internet is rather useless. Just something that grinds my gears I guess, thanks for sticking around this long.

I agree I went through the same thing when I lived at home, plus we had a foreign exchanged student living with us. It was horrible but like you said you don't pay the bill. Get a job and get a better internet subscription and you won't have that problem. There isn't too much you can do.

I mean you don't pay for it. It won't kill you to have your family use the internet in your house.

like people have said you could speak to your family about upgrading your broadband package,maybe it isn't the best package for multi-usage, maybe you could speak to your family and you could designate time periods where family members take breaks from using it,Just a suggestion.

Yea I totally get that. You should have some of my previous posts.

I mean I'm cool with them using it of course. But them downloading senseless crap all day. When I purposely, don't do that. Is what get's to me.

I would imagine you know the struggle

Having internet so slow no more than one person can use it is more like a 3rd world problem, I personally have 150 Mb/s down and 30 Mb/s up, and I live in rural Georgia.

Of course there's certain areas where you can't get ultra fast broadband or fibre optics, but you can still get around 25 Mb/s with DSL, which is decent. It's also enough for 3 or so people to stream videos, play games, etc. with little or no loss to latency.

Same problem occurs for me, it's really annoying like f**k man.
