bandwidth usage wifi

[Vsml]

Hi,

What causes bandwidth usage to have constant 300-400 ping? Recently my uncle had to move in for reasons and whenever he's using the internet my ping is crazy! It's always been between 19-25 ping but when he uses it it's constantly high ping and it never dips. At the moment it's gone to 1200 ping. What on earth could he be constantly doing?

You uncle is obviously hogging your internet connection.
He must be downloading things and using up most of the bandwidth speed of your internet connection.

It is the only reason as to why you would be getting pings, or latency of up to 400Ms.
If he uses one of those torrent programs to download things it will be the main cause.
Or if he is using netflix, amazon prime ect while you are also on the internet, trying to game.

He must be using a torrent program 24/7 If it's becoming a constant 400-800 ping with no downtime whatsoever.

He may be doing one of many things. Explain the problem to him and ask to look at his computer to see if there are any security breaches or other problems on the computer that are interrupting the internet. While you're there, also look around for torrent programs or other potential programs that soak up bandwidth. While it may be tough to do with an uncle, if you are the network manager of your home, then you need to tactfully exercise some authority. And don't act surprised if you find things he would be embarrassed by.
