Ever since I moved in Dec 2014, video streaming causes massive slowdowns in my network. Simply put, that's the problem. More specifically, 2 things are the problem: YouTube videos and iMessenger. We don't use iMessenger very often, but it slows the internet even more than YouTube does. Want to see what happens when a YouTube video is loaded? Ok:

2. Pinging google.com in cmd looks like this: http://imgur.com/TfecOKu
That cmd pingtest thing usually gives me around 30-50ms. Spamming "ping google.com" sometimes gives me something like this:

There's a clear outlier there: the second line, 44ms. This only happens once every 10 or so pings, but it does happen. I found that quite weird.
The internet is almost ALWAYS fine when I'm the only one in the house. There's the occasional spike to 100 ping or so, but that's fine. Something else I noticed recently is that whenever I have a constant 400ish ping, I can disconnect my brother's computer from the internet, and it will go back down, even if he has no programs open at all (even in task manager > processes).
When I'm home alone, and after the YouTube-watchers are in bed, I can watch YouTube without any problems with my ping. It will go a bit higher (from 40 ping to 60 or so), but not to the multi-thousands.
Sometimes loading a webpage will spike my ping well into the hundreds, but it goes back down almost instantly.
I also get some choke and loss spikes about twice a day each, up to about 50% choke, and 75% loss. I once reached 100% loss, without losing connection, which surprised me.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
