Does your router have QoS? Use it to give yourself first send bandwidth.

Hi,

What I did before when I had this issue where everyone in my family was connecting to the internet, I went to the router menu and gave my self full bandwidth while my family gave them a limited one which you can specify. So I turn it on when I want to play and off when I am done.

Regards,

Do you pay for the connection or do your parents?

Best solution, get your own place and your own internet.

For my house, that would last about 6 hours. Until I came home.

If your name is not on the monthly bill, suck it up, buttercup.

You should get priority over your parents, why ?
