Copy and Pasta from the TF2 Crew Thread.

Right, bit of Rage here.

Around this time of day (Actually around 6pm GMT to about 11pm GMT) I get extreme Lag in TF2. Normally it showed itself in occasional lag spikes, but recently it is unbearable.

It started after getting a letter from my ISP saying the average bandwidth consumption in my Household was around 32Gb a month. I know, shocking. I did play a small part in it as I had to get the Windows 7 RC and Linux Mint 7 OS around about the same time.

BUT - I don't really download alot of crap. Most of my network useage is TF2 and Youtube/NG. My Brother however does. He downloads almost every single demo for the Xbox available, while browsing looking for tits. He's 15, the douche.

Right so if myself and him play TF2 and COD4 respectively on PC and XBOX (also respectively) you'd think that I'd win out on the network timeshare. Fuck no. I get extreme lag - to the point I can't stream a 2 minute long LQ Youtube video without it buffering for twice as long as it lasts.

What does he get? Lag free experience and full voice chat (with such an abusive voice to the ears) on a game he only a month ago.

So while he's prancing around, popping peoples heads off and teabagging his team mates, I'm stuck wondering if that backstab connected only to find it failed and I died while waiting for the game to catch up. I have recently experienced times where i take damage, manage to kill the guy only to walk away for 10 seconds and die with a [So and So finished you off] - deathnotice as a sniper who can't suicide on the ground without the console.

Now I know that TF2 is a bit poorly optimised at the moment, but I used to play well, without lag but now fuck it...

So the point of the matter, the reason for my rant is - is there a way to lag out the XBOX, by whoring out networking resources on my PC. I want my brother to taste what I'm getting at the moment - shit. i want to be able to play without lag, download stuff without worrying about the memory usage (BattleField 2 v1.5 is 2GB I don't want to touch because of said bandwidth) and watch Youtube without the need to wait 20 minutes for an Achievement Hunter video.

TL:DR version - I lag tons, my brother's XBOX doesn't - help me trade my Lag on PC for his non-laggy gameplay on COD4 MP with SCIENCE!

STL:DR version - Want brother's Bandwidth!
