Hi, I have this subscription on Youtube .. Linus -Tech -Tips https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGSZo5BA73YBHg1Qrfw0xFg You need to report this for impersonation. Gavin

I'll check out QoS and chrome and just re-test everything tomorrow, it's getting late here now. Ive also doubled my memory to 16gb - and i was running 1 stick for a while there so that could have been a problem (re memory : I can't remember now the timing of events between when my memory stick died and when i was having the problems). PS. Netflix is through an XBox One.

I'll check it out. I'm with iinet.

OK. Some things to think about. I can see that it's not a simple issue of bandwidth.

Presumably both data streams are getting to my ISP at the correct times & no/minimal dropouts. So what then is the issue? Is it the ISP not being able to correctly process two streams? Or is my router to blame? It seems like a pretty straight forward switching problem. One that CPU's solved a long time ago. Are routers just absolute rubbish ?

I'm pretty sure it's just these two factors, because it happens every time Netflix is turned on, at least it has happened 4 or 5 times in a row until I just stopped gaming while the TV is on. And also, that other people confirmed that they experience it as well. I'm using a generic 10/100 router from my ISP because my NetComm Gigabit router was constantly dropping out. Edit: And the Netcomm router also had the issue of game stuttering while Netflix was on. Now I remember testing it at the time.

Hi, I have a VDSL2 connection with plan offering 30 / 20 Mbps and I do see those download speeds. Test run just now gave 16 / 6 Mbps, which is subnormal for my connection. But even with that connection I still get lag spikes during gaming if someone is watching Netflix in the other room. Now, my calculations show Netflix HD is about 6.7 Mbps. That still leaves a lot of room for gaming. I don't understand why I am still getting lag spikes. And I'm not alone, I talked to some fellow gamers and they shared similar experiences. What's the deal here. Why can't we do two things at once?
