Author Topic: Internet sooooo slow. (Kinda)  (Read 1174 times)

UPDATE:
My mom asked if I wanted to go with my sister and get my checks cased.
I said "No, because I want to play Xbox a little today"
My sister stomps into the room and goes "Oh my gosh, you can give up Xbox for one day"
Me "You can give up videos for one day; I can never play online because you're always loading 6 videos at once"
Mom "You're loading 6 videos at once"
Sister "Im not watching them; you dont need to play online"
Me "I already beat the game, and I want to play online sometimes; plus you're on 6 hours every day"
Sister "You're on Xbox 6 hours a day"
Me "Yea but Im not sucking up the internet"
Mom " you need to take a break so your brother can play"
Sister "But im in the middle of watching a tv series, and I couldnt watch last night because  was shopping"
Me "Yea, but dad was shopping and you were watching videos and we couldnt load the page"
Sister " I was doing other this too" (Lie, she pulls this kinda crap for excuses"
Me "I dont know how long you were on after I fell asleep and that was at 1 am"
Sister stomps out of room
Mom "Will you go cash your checks"
Me "No, Im not going with her"
Mom "But you need to cash your checks and get your haircut"
Me "Ill do it sometime else"

By the way, after my parents go to bed, my sister sneaks out and takes the computer to her room.
She usually stays on it until about 12/1am
Then she puts it back in the same spot.
Thats why she misses the bus, and my mom gets mad because she wont wake up until 10 minutes till the bus.


I'm really sick of this.
Im thinking about keeping the router on and just unplugging the router from the modem and plugging my ether-net cord from my Xbox to the modem.

With that kind of internet its surprising that you can even PLAY video games online.
I can play fine with 1 or 2 videos loading.
But not when a brat it loading 6 30minute long videos at once.

How about you just get a better internet connection? It shouldn't be that hard to atleast make it ATLEAST a bit faster. You can hardly do anything with internet that slow. Its 99% slower than the average US internet speed, that points out something.

I cant
I would get cable, but Ive already said they dont run it up where I live
They only run it to the center of town which is 2 miles away

What about satellite internet?

Leave a camera recording to see her sneak it away and show your parents.

What about satellite internet?
Ha, what a joke.
Not only would I not be able to play when its extreme cloudy, stormy.
But where I live I can barely get Direct TV

Leave a camera recording to see her sneak it away and show your parents.
Like they'd care.
They dont do anything

And when I get home from school she gets on at 2:50
She is on until 10

Then my dad tells her to shut it down


Then when he goes to bed she sneaks out


Did I mention she is probably the most immature 17 year old brat

Do this: Pretend to sleep. Wait for sister to use computer. Pretend to wake up to the loudness of the laptop. Tell parents that she woke you up from your sleep. They should do something about it.

If not working do this: take battery out of laptop, hide the charger and the battery. Problem solved.

If it still isn't loving working: shut off all power to your house except your room and wherever your mom and dad is.

If that doesn't work (the final measure): Turn laptop to highest volume before bed. The rest follows.

Better yet, use the same step above.  Spend like 10 bucks on a baby monitor, put it wherever she is when she uses laptop at night.  Sneak the other into the parent's room.

She is likely to be grounded.

Maybe you should upgrade your service plan? Alot of internet providers have different plans that have differing bandwidth usage. Or maybe you should just switch your internet provider to another DSL provider?

Unplug the internet at night, that way she can't sneak on.

That would disable him from playing xbox. It also wouldn't work because she'd turn it back on when she wakes up.

Final tip before exiting this thread.

Find any way possible to expose her playing after her dad goes to bed. It's simple actually.

Exposing her would get her in trouble, amrite?

When everyone is goin to bed and she has already been told to turn it off, take a cord or something from it so she cant use it and stash it in your room until the next day.

This is me:
I have two computers, I play xbox(live), and the family computer, then my moms work laptop, and a stuffty internet, so yah.

Im gonna put the laptops away tonight.
Wait
I cant...
My mom uses the laptop at like 5 am
but my sister only uses the netbook.
So Ill probably hide that.

My internet just started going slow today. Five bars doesn't mean loading a page in 2 minutes.
