Hi all,
I am on the 500mb package from virgin. Everything is fine until someone else in the house downloads something when the ping spikes horrendously, i assume because the line is being maxed.
We have a netgear nighthawk r8000 and i have tried the dynamic QOS that it offers, and whilst it reduces the spikes from 200ms to more like 80/90 this is still pretty unplayable compared to my usual 15.
Im looking for a way to resolve this. I have debated a new router with better QOS however before dropping ~300 on the ones ive been looking at i would like some reassurance for anyone who has solved similar issues.
Any ideas/suggestions for new hardware?
