Verizon bandwith control

[aLemonNation]

I have verizon fios and I want to control the download speed cap for my mom's computer since she doesn't need the whole 60 Mbps. Any way to do that with my router?

Should be able to manage her connection from the network tab on the control page.

She isn't using all 60mbps though unless she is doing some crazy power user stuff though, so I don't see much of a reason to cap er.

why? it will automatically change depending on users and such. 

 

10$ says mom pays bill and kids trying to pull a fast one to get faster internet. OP unless you pay for it, or get her permission, kind of a bitch move

if you want to do QOS right, you should limit everybody's bandwidth to just under your total bandwidth. for example, I have 80 down and up on FIOS, so I would set my QOS to 75, so that if somebody was downloading someting, somebody else could still watch youtube

It is just not my mom's computer. The TV, ipad, mom and dad's laptop are all on the same time I'm playing my games. They usually download movies and don't set caps so it would send all 60 mbps towards them and slowing everyone else. I asked and they said they don't mind with 10 mbps or lower. I'm not that kind of person to just knock my parents off the internet so I can play my own games. I don't pay the bill and 50 mbps is a bit too much for me. I'm fine with only 25, but it's the latency and ping that matters. If I cap her connection to 25 or 10, it would not affect my ping.

mate thats not how internet works. it would be silly to cap everyone to a proportional part of the internet, and have extra throttling when its not needed. imho think its silly and unnecessary. im sure someone can come and help you though

Maybe you're getting the wrong idea. My mother is streaming her shows at 60 mbps which drains the internet from my grandparents and my father, and me. She can stream at 10 mbps and her stream won't lag and would not lag anyone else in the house.

mate, if a show only needs 10 mbps, that is all that it will use. it won't use all 60. 

 

my house I actually also get 60mbps down. that works out to 7mb/s. if im downloading a steam game at 7mb/s, yeah, itll clog up the internet. the second I open youtube on another device, my steam download will slow down slightly and make room for that 1080P stream just fine. 

 

same way in reverse. if theres a movie stream in a house that needs 2mb/s to watch,(netflix for example), it wont send all 7mb/s to it. it may right away to buffer, but it in no way will hold all 7mb/s download from the whole house for that one show.
