I am a student living in a hostel, sharing a 8mbps internet and 4mbps internet, and I live in ground floor while the internet is on the top floor, so most of the time
I am having a bad wifi signal, often get 3 bars only, the problem is not only that, the problem is with THERE IS THIS GUY WHO KEEPS DOWNLOADING MOVIES
that eats up the bandwidths, sometimes I could not even load up GOOGLE. Complain does not work, this madafaaaka just will not stop, is there any way that
I can like balance it up the internet speed, cuz it is irritating when it comes to grave situations like I want to do my assignment, online to research but I can't.

lol.
I assume that "guy" downloads movie via torrent or any download client? You should ask him to limit the bandwidth where most of the download clients will have this function. Else you can sneak to his pc and limit the bandwidth yourself.

You have a 4mb & 8mb line ? Easy, let him have the 8mb & you can use the 4mb or use a good router to limit his bandwidth

What I mean is that, this hostel has around like 12 people sharing this 8mbps and 4mbps internet, normally its very slow already since so many ppl sharing and yet this guy keeps on watching movie and do stuffs that will consume the bandwidth. I just wanted to know is there any way like to limit the bandwidths only to me for a period of time

Consider to to subscribe your own broadband ... now got a lot a mobile broadband package in very compatible price. This post has been edited by WebWalker: Jul 4 2015, 11:58 PM
