I have comcast high speed internet and I should be able to download at faster than 10kb/s. I usually download at around 800 kb/s. But recentally I've noticed my internet has slowed down around noon, that is when my parents get home and turn on their computer. Can my parents computer be slowing mines down by this much?

Yes, because when they get home and start using the internet you have to share your bandwidth with them.

Usually when they are home I still get around the same internet speed, but this is only been happening recentally. If I am sharing bandwith with them, shouldn't it only drop a little?

It depends on what your parents are doing, but normally I'd say that even getting cut in half is extreme.

I know my parents are using a splitter on the comcast modem. Could they be controlling how much bandwidth I get with that?

I'm using Comcast too. Its the biggest bullshit ever, I lag all the time. Turn the power off on the modem and router for a minute, and plug it back in. Or just wait a couple days. Comcast fucks up all the time.

Same with mine.
I got Comcast with power boost and my internet has been hell of slow for the past week.
Ever since it started raining in the Bay Area, the speeds have been going down.

What has the rain got to do with it?

Well, you should get a server.
A server equally distributes broadband between all the computers.
This is how the internet works in schools or big companies.

| http://torrentfreak.com/comcast-vs-bittorrent-whats-next-080821/ wrote: | Comcast was ordered to stop slowing down BitTorrent users before the end of the year. In addition, the company has to disclose all “network managing” practices.
The FCC’s final decision came exactly a year after we first reported on the issue. Initially, Comcast flatout denied that they were slowing down BitTorrent users, but after AP confirmed our reports, mainstream media picked it up and the FCC got involved. FCC argues that Comcast’s actions are unfair because they specifically target BitTorrent, not any other protocols.
Good news right? So BitTorrent users will soon be able to download at blazing speeds again? Well, not really. A neutral net wont stop ISPs from slowing down their customers. Now they simply have to slow down everyone - and that’s exactly what their plan is. Comcast already said that they will move on, and throttle bandwidth hogs at peak times when needed. On top of that, they are enforcing a monthly bandwidth limit, not hesitating to disconnect people who use more than they should.
Comcast is taking these measures under the “reasonable network management” flag. However, what is reasonable now (if it is), might not be one or two years from now. The problem is that the ISPs are the ones who decide what the limits should be, meaning they can pretty much do whatever they want.
Several ISPs have already started to experiment with new tools to prevent customers from using too much bandwidth. Comcast will slow down all heavy bandwidth users, and Time Warner Cable is testing metered plans, where users will pay for the bandwidth they transfer. Worrying developments, to say the least.
Some might not see a problem with metered plans. We pay for water and gasoline in pretty much the same way. This is indeed true, but there’s also a danger in metering the Internet. It will restrict innovation (heavy bandwidth apps), and the use of high bandwidth video streaming may become something for the elite.
One thing is clear, BitTorrent users will be the main targets of these new “business models”. It was therefore surprising to see comments from Eric Klinker, Chief Technology Officer of BitTorrent, on these initiatives. “I think what Comcast and Time Warner Cable are doing is a great first step,” Klinker told Cnet. “It gets ISPs out of the business of deciding which applications are important and which aren’t. But there are enhancements to the peer-to-peer protocol, in particular, that can make it easier on all ISPs.”
Net neutrality is not the Holy Grail though - a neutral net is useless if it’s slower than a biased one. Klinker agreed on this, and told us that he doesn’t think that these new business models, or network management practices, are a good long term strategy. “This is a step in the right direction because ISPs are indeed making their networks more “neutral” without new legislation requiring them to do so,” he told TorrentFreak. “But make no mistake, bandwidth caps and metered plans are bad for the Internet and could stunt the adoption and growth of all broadband services.”
Network expert Robb Topolski, who was the first to document Comcast’s unfair network management practices, thinks that ISPs might experiment with new network management tools, but that these wont stick. When we asked him whether he thinks the FCC ruling will lead to more bandwidth caps and metered plans, he said: “If it does, then something has gone wrong with competition. Customers clearly don’t want metered plans and bandwidth caps. There might be some ISPs that experiment with these, but I don’t see it happening.”
Let’s hope Robb is right. Of course, we applaud the FCC ruling, but we have a strange feeling that ISPs will continue to fight their customers for a while. They should, of course, move on and invest in the future. BitTorrent is here to stay, files will get larger, and more bandwidth intensive services will surface, really. |
Maybe they started now?

$20 says the node you're on is simply saturated as shit during that time. Of course other people in your home can affect it, but remember, everyone on your node is sharing.

^ That, and Comcast just sucks. I have it and my web cuts out randomly for about 5 minutes throughout the day, and the whole bandwidth issue is that you're allowed 250 gigs a month. So unless they're torrenting some hardcore porn from the time they get home to the time they sleep, it shouldn't really be affecting you too much.

before comcast did not lag but now...
try turning off the com for 30 sec and unplugging the modem for 30 sec too then turn the com back on and then plug it back in.
