My big brother bought a really good new laptop for 1000 euro.
I come from a small village and unfortunately only have a 6k line. When I play alone everything runs smoothly. The ping is then between 40-70ms.
But as soon as my brother turns on his new laptop, the ping fluctuates between 170-1000ms and nothing works anymore, no videos watch nothing at all.
You can't forbid him from being on the Internet. His laptop doesn't do any updates. He sometimes hears Spotify watching YouTube or Netflix.
But what is it, why is the internet so slow, earlier we had the same laptop and both could play at the same time, watch YouTube etc
The best thing to do is look in the Windows Task Manager to see which software is burdening the network connection.
CTRL + ALT + DEL → Task Manager → sort by network.
Many routers have the option of creating their own prioritizations where other devices could be preferred.
If he now watches Netflix in HD, the bandwidth is gone, either you take turns, he reduces its resolution, or downloads the films beforehand (I don't have Netflix, only Prime, that's partly possible) and then watches them and You can play or you need better internet. I now have an LTE hybrid solution and with it we can stream three or four at the same time etc
6k (k = KiloBit) can't be correct. That would be a standstill by excellence even if little brother would not stream anything. Since analog modems could do much more.
If you want to solve tape problems and speed problems then you should be able to name values with correct units.
It is of course no surprise that the PING value drops when the connection is overloaded.
In any case, Netflix HD fully utilizes the access. Theoretically, this should recognize if there's not enough BB and then regulate down, but should the router have settings that prefer such streaming services (QoS) then the "error" can be found. What kind of router do you have?
He means a 6 Mbit line (here the k stands for 1000). Your kilo bit would be shortened to kb.
It seems to me that you have read nothing more than the first paragraph or that you have a natural resistance to waving with the fence post. 😉
The question remains… Which order of magnitude stands for which abbreviation, especially in the field of computer science (even if x k is popularly known), you should know.
A small "k" usually stands for kilobits in IT. The capital "K" for kilobytes.
Even if they are not correct units of measurement.
In mathematics for "1,000".
Is there anything else?
Then we should have a few thousand textbooks rewritten. From simple school books to student unions…
