If two people are on the internet at once does it affect the speed?

My brother is a pro vr gamer and doesn’t let my family use the internet while he competes. However, I hate this. I want to play on the computer and use WiFi. He uses an Ethernet cord and I do not, does my use of internet affect his?

You share bandwidth, so yes. But tell him he has to share... or get his own line.

if he is paying for the internet he has every right to restrict others use.if not,tell him to pound sand.

What is the overall bandwidth coming into the house?
If he is a "pro", and the bandwidth is lacking...suggest that he contributes more $$ to the kitty, and get better speed.
