I share my connection with 2 PCs, one being mine and other being little cousins whose hooked on those popular youtube gaming channels like PewDiePie and the rest. That's not important, what is important that for some reason whenever he's watching those videos, ping goes absolutely crazy. Normally, pinging google.com comes back in about 10ms, but when he's watching YT, it goes up to 300ms, which makes pretty much everything unbearable.
Considering that youtube doesn't use P2P and that our limited upload remains pretty much free, what is the reason for this and is there a way to fix it? Watching youtube from my PC makes the ping go to about 50-60ms, which would make the whole thing ignorable, but 300ms is just crazy for such a benign action.
I suspected a faulty router, so I had it changed for a new one, but that didn't help. So, what are my options?
