A new girl moved into my house share a couple of days ago, and from literally the moment she connected to the wifi my ping when gaming has been all over the place.

We have virgin media 100mb or something and its a 4 person share. Everyone streams netflix/youtube whatever and typically it has no impact on my ping, until now. New girl isn't even in the house today and ping has been spiking from 30-400 every 10 seconds or so. I am connected via ethernet and when I disable wireless ping normalises to 30.

I'm really puzzled. If she's left something downloading surely it would have downloaded by now? It's been about 48 hours. Why does the ping go up and down? Could she be torrenting and have 100 files seeding? Does upload have an impact on ping?
