I live in a house with 3 other people and we have a 20mb (claimed, doubt we ever get that much) connection via virgin media. For some reason when 1 or more people in the house other than myself is on the net the ammount of the 20mb I get drops right down to less than 1mb in some cases, I dont know if its to do with my laptop being a bit older then theres, or the way my wirelss is configured, but its certainly not a distance issue as im right above the router. We did a speed test on one occasion and while mine was getting 1.5mb, the other 2 were getting 8mb and 5mb (dl).
So obviously its very frustrating when other people connect and I lose most of my bandwidth, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to evenly spilt the wireless connection? Idealy via software instead of new hardware but information on either would be greatly appreciated!
