Amanda. 20 years old. Owner of 2 spoiled dogs. Lives in western NY. Madly in love with her fiance Randy. Studied 2 years at college for informatics and will continue sometime in the near future. Opinionated, sensitive, emotional, loyal, dedicated. My brother lacks the concept of shared usage
I think my 16 year old brother lacks the knowledge or chooses to ignore the fact that just because he goes to bed, it does NOT mean that my mom and I do. We both use the internet especially late at night. He decides to leave downloads going which slows down our net speed by maybe…. 5x? Pages rarely load and sometimes I feel like I’m on dialup and it is SO irritating. At times mom and I get mean and unplug him out of the network so we can use it freely. I admit, I download a lot but I turn it on at maybe 2am and they’re off as soon as I wake up so it doesn’t tick anybody off. So Rob, here’s a memo: We use the internet. Be kind, don’t upload/download when we’re all trying to use it. [/end rant]

That would piss me the hell off. I sometimes go to bed before Dan does, so when I do, I make sure that the download doesn’t start until he clicks it on when going to bed. Because otherwise… the internet just crawlllllllllllls. As I’m sure you know, lol.

Oooooh annoying! NO WAI! I get mad enough when my bro was on halo and it slowed down the internet lol. At least he’s conscious for that.
