HI AKHET, finally up after doing to bed at Ridiculous O'clock™?
YES
It was so weiiiiiiird. I was wired like crazy at 3am, talking to myself more than usual and laughing at the shapes of shadows and other stuff. Had to try to sleep at 4am-ish even then I was laying there thinking of god knows what some other story and narrating it out as I do to meself as I went along. D:
Yes and squeezed in some random impromptu invention training in the wee weeee hours.
Is anyone here ultra savvy with networking, PC's, Steam and TF2?
Man I am having some weird ass net issues that seem solely based on that game, tried all sorts. That game now lags for me every time I play, everything else is totally fine and my speeds are 100% stable lol.
On top of that, occasionally my net will just turn itself off (red x over the network icon thingy in the taskbar) for about 5 seconds, then resumes fine, then maybe later on does the same thing again etc. Last night was yet another weirdo thing happening: I was still logged into stuff and able to chat online, yet, I couldn't load anything, no pages etc, it deemed me as not having an internet connection? What is going oooooon. ;-;
The internet disconnecting for 5 seconds thing was happening to me a lot the other day, nothing I tried fixed it so I resorted to using WiFi (ewww)
I know nothing but turning it off and on again, sorry
As for the everything but X disconnecting thing, I get that more often than most things, it usually just fixes itself after a few minutes.

Yeh, I've tried turning it off and on again lol, didnt do poop. ;-;
RS plays totally fine, bunch of other stuff plays fine too, YT vids at hd settings no problem etc, for some reason TF2 = constant 200+ ping, never used to be that way even when I had the 'shitnet'.
Seems to be connected to me bro's PC going on as well I think, or at least in part. If his PC is on, TF2 ping goes through the roof - but everything else stays totally fine/speeds etc. It's so odd lol.
It's a constant battle with the internet here lol, and no sign of the fibre anywhere.
They keep saying 'oh you will all get it this year' each year for the past like 5 or something. Apparently according to their stats, 50% of the village is fibre enabled, rest are 'we're assessing whether we can be assed to do anything with the rest of you hillbillies' - pretty much every BT pole has a coil of some cable hanging off of it though, as if the stuff is there ready to go, but they ain't doing shit about it lol. ;-;
I know that feeling D: - And BT are shite from my experiences with them.
Does your brother torrent, or have any high bandwidth programs open, or anything? If he's on Win8/8.1/10, try opening Task Manager and clicking the orange internet tab on "Performance", see if it's using a lot of internets.
