I use Wifi, cable not possible since It would go through the living room.

Speedtest gives 25mb average.

I play Dota with around 60 ping when no one is home, got some packet loss but I can deal with that.

When someone else is using the internet, at max they are watching youtube, no downloads, no torrents, my ping goes crazy.

I am in a good channel, my neighbours don't know the password if you were wondering, I supposedly have an unlimited plan..
The only thing that could interfere with my internet is my keyboard that is wireless...

What can I do? I have a Technicolor TG784n v3

likely you have a cheap router supplied by the internet provider. they have these types of issues since they are dirt cheap.

i always get my own router to be sure it can handle multiple users and the traffic i know i will ask of it. that's where i'd look first is the quality of the router. my neighbor had cox cable internet installed and they got supposedly 100 mb internet. the router they installed was only rated for 25 mb!!! so it was only capable of outputting 25% of what they were paying for.

get a better router and i bet a lot of the issues go away. can cost $150-200 for a quality router but think of the $10 or more a month you're probably paying for the crappy used one they gave you when you signed up!!
