Will A 600Mpbs Nerwork Card (TP-Link T9E) Suck Up The Internet

brandubbs · Feb 23, 2018

So my mum and dad get hella stingy and complain that a network card could suck up all the internet. Is this true?

Being ADSL2+ until we get NBN in a few months, our internet is currently not the best especially with NBN being installed.

ADSL 2 is not very fast and bandwidth is not a lot. Closer you are to the exchange the better and typically the speed of ADSL2 can vary between 500KB/s to 1.2MB/s. More PC's using the same ADSL connection the slower it becomes, your typical copper phone wire has nowhere near the bandwidth of cable or NBN where the latter could suffice 2~3 PC's comfortably all at once with a connection of 50Mbps.

NBN will be much better than ADSL of course and will handle more simultaneous connections in the house without it bogging down like ADSL.

So it has nothing to do with what kind of network card you have its the amount of computers running on it.

For the last 10 years or more, computers have had 1000mbps gigabit nics as a standard feature on motherboards. More than likely your parent's computer has one too. But to reach gigabit (120MB/s give or take) will have to be in a Lan environment copying from one PC to another. NBN is not that fast.

So no, 600mbps nic has nothing to do with it.

I have a $2k PC, like to play Fortnite, CSGO, and CoD sometimes.

Adsl will be fine playing games when its only you on it, nothing wrong with it. Only problem is when someone else starts doing things as well, like youtube or facebook. You will lag.
