Bandwidth hogging

[rargh]

ALright folks,

 

I'm currently on a 2 for £20 deal with Virgin where I get my phone and broadband (Size M, was a 1Mb connection, but got upped to 2Mb last year) for £20.

 

I'm running my PC through a modem which is connected to a wireless router, from which my housemate and gf connect their respective PCs.

 

However, whenever my housemate is playing one of his MMOs or downloading something (i.e. the send/receive lights are going like the 100m on Daley Thompson's Decathlon) I can't get on the net myself, or if I can it takes me an age. A man needs his fix of Guatemalan Clown Filth, you understand!

 

Are there any programs you can install that split the bandwidth between each PC, or is it simply a case of first come, first served, get the lions (and tigers and leopards) share of the bandwidth?

you could log in to the router and restrict it to your own MAC address then act dumb when he can't get online.

Actually, I just realised something. Sorry, al - I love you like my own Brother but this should be on the nerd forum. I'm going to have to neg you.

I wouldn't know where to start. It's been like for over a week now. He goes tpo work of a morning and leaves his PC on. The modem (which is in my room) flashes like fuck until he gets in. I can'ty even get onto the Virgin site to see how much it would cost me to upgrade my bandwidth as I keep getting a 'Server Not Found' message. I takes me about 5 minutes just to get on here; the page draws in like a speccy loading screen.

 

Mods, if this thread needs moving then can you put it in the relevant place, please?

You need the login details for the router. they'll be in the user manual if you still have it. Lemme know if you still have them.

[rargh]

Nope. My housemate has the WEP as it's his router.

[Nick Leeson]

you dont need the wep, you need the router login.

 

Just pull the power lead out of it and then turn it back on again. Whatever he's doing while he's out that's hogging bandwidth will die and you'll get usage again until he gets in.

 

Or you could just run the modem straight to your PC while he's out.

Wait for your housemate at the top of the stairs push him to his death.

 

He won't fucking do it again.

Don't you normally jizz on their faces too? Or can you lot not do that anymore? I did notice you've been jizzing on a lot less faces lately. In fact I can't remember a single face being jizzed on since the snipop

When it comes to bandwidth hoarding a "jizzing on someone's face as a warning" is not necessary. Neither is burning down their house.

 

I am pleased to report (and I know this will make you feel better) that even after the snip I am still able to hit a face from an 8 foot distance.

Do they still give out certificates for stuff like that?

Yet you don't jizz facially anymore. You always did it. It was your patented finishing move. Has it zapped your sex drive aswell as your sea monkeys?
