    I often will be downloading a film, streaming youtube or music and be playing video games. Latency matters to me and WiFi is just not stable enough

        and playing video games. No offense, but did you read the whole comment? I need good latency for my games and I need it while downloading a bunch of other stuff. Idk if you’ve ever tried downloading a few torrents while gaming, but it’ll definitely have an impact. Especially if you’re on WiFi.

          I did. Just pointing out uselessness of mentioning big downloads in context of latency. Just don’t bring bad arguments.

          downloading a few torrents while gaming, but it’ll definitely have an impact. Especially if you’re on WiFi.

          Yes, but also setting up network priority(QoS), limiting torrent transfer speed and other stuff.

            You’re probably right, but I’m not a power user and nor do I care to be. I can make all my problems go away by just plugging in a cable and making sure I have good Internet otherwise. That’s my point and what matters to me in this discussion

      Something is wrong. None of this is perceptible to humans.

      If you don’t want to figure it out, cool. But it ain’t the protocol causing your issues.

        I’m pretty sure it’s wifi from the neighbours interfering. I can’t be bothered to deal with that, not when I have a cable laying around. Plus, no matter what, a cable will always be more stable than wifi
