Netflix and Ping

I was wondering if its Netflix that's actually doing the ping rises for my game.

I have another roommate who watches Netflix on his laptop, but he connects though the wifi to our router.

My pings been spiking lately from like 20-90 then from 20-150 sometimes. I'm wondering is it Netflix that's causing it? or something else?

Netflix rapes your Internet, ask your friend what shows he watches and buy them for him so he doesn't have to stream them

the reason your ping spikes like that is because netflix isn't downloading the entire time, it downloads to a certain point and stops until it needs to download again. i had the same issue when I had shitty internet.

he could also be watching it on ultra hd or whatever netflix calls it, see if you can convince him to go down to 480p.

Are you on a wired connection? Might just have been my luck, but my roommates watch netflix 24/7 and the ping spikes dramatically improved if not just became a rare occasion when I switched to an outlet connection. Given you may need decent speeds to handle the rampant downloading

QOS, give netflix/his mac address lower priority to minimize spikes
