Hello,
I have recently been experiencing problems with my Sky internet (Sky hub SR101). My first issue is that when someone is downloading something or hosting something such as a server for a game (such as Cube World), everything else will go offline and only the thing that is downloading/the server will receive normal internet speeds. Skype and steam will go offline and nobody will be able to even load google yet the download/server receives full internet speeds (which isn't very fast in the first place to be honest).I understand that the internet will be slower for other people when something is downloading or a server is being hosted, but surely it shouldn't make everything completely die? I used to be able to host a Cube World server no problem and still go on Skype to my friends however now my internet seems like it cant handle it. There is no way to access any QoS settings on my router (thanks sky) which is what another guy told me to do so i am really confused.
So my second sort of problem is that I have recently been able to try using Ethernet instead of WiFi as I was told it is much faster. However when I am downloading games etc, it is actually slower than the WiFi. My WiFi will get a peak speed of about 2.1 Mbps and if its in a happy mood then maybe 2.3 Mbps but when using Ethernet im only getting 1.7 Mbps. I know its not really much of a difference but I was wondering: is this normal? Surely the Ethernet should be getting higher speeds. It could be because im using the Ethernet through a power-line adapted but im not sure so please can someone clear this up for me. Thank you in advance!
