I recently found out I'm going to be moving and I just had a super fast question that maybe you can help me out with.

Where I'm moving to has an internet connection that is constantly used by a couple of people for work/school and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about having 2 internet connections in one house. I was thinking of paying for my own separate internet connection.

I constantly upload videos and do not want to interfere with their latency and such.

Any feedback/insight would be awesome :D

I assume you have a cable connection right? If so, what provider?

The only company that reaches out to where I'll be is a local internet company.

Its DSL :\

I believe it's only one internet connection per house, high speed or not. I attempted to ask Verizon if I could get FiOS because its more reliable than comcast's lame bandwidth caps and was shot down with more or less that only one high-speed connection is only possible.

I was also kinda bullshitted that my roomie who owns the router is paranoid as hell about wifi and shuts it off from midnight to 9am which I cant internet when I get home at 6AM. If only he knew the neighborhood was full of these signals...

Have you tried a router with a Qos engine? You could set starcraft to have a higher priority so that you'll have lowered latency when you game.

I have the D-Link DIR 655 router. It's good. I have no idea whether the Qos Engine in it really works or not though.

You could go to Costco to buy it and then return it if it doesn't work.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

I actually dont know anything about this. I personally dont care how logn it takes to upload my videos. If theres a way to upload them slowly while still being able to game/not lag out my family that would be amazing.

If anyone is an expert please help :D

Ok, since what your trying to do is not hog up the entire bandwith because theres people ur living with and you have respect for these people and you dont want them to be getting 0.1 kb/s while your getting 10 mb/s. This is quite simple. You go to router config ( give me yoru router name and i could find the exact steps) and you 'allocate' bandwith between your family and yourself. Say your house gets 10 mb/s . Take maybe 2-3 mb/s. Also, abouit uploading videos slowly, if you allocate x amount of speed, when you upload your going to be using alot of that speeda nd your going to be lagging in game. Dont upload while playing is my suggestion.

Yeah I know that I'd be lagging, I have multiple computers to play on though

The router I have is an Airlink 101 which is a complete POS and I'm going to be buying a new one if I do indeed move... but I'd still like to mess around with it to figure out how to do it before then.
