I have windows 7 btw
So, I'm looking at the details of my connection (accessible from the 'Network and sharing center') and I have a good connection: 4-5 bars, and 54 Mbps. And sometimes my ping is quite good, at ~15ms when connecting to the nearest server on pingtest.net
However, I share my internet with other people in the house, so I think one of my brothers is downloading a lot these days, because for the past 2 or so weeks, I've constantly been having ping problems, which come and go (my ping will just explode, sometimes to only ~120ms, but sometimes all the way to ~500ms). Given I have no way of knowing whether it is my brother who's excessively downloading or something like that, and given that even if that's the case, I have no way of stopping him, my question is the following: is there anything I can do solely on my own end that can improve my ping without causing the entire rest of the house to have a horrible connection? For example, is there any way I can reduce my speed (given I can spare a little bit) in compensation for better latency? And sometimes, when I'm having a bad ping, restarting my connection (or my entire pc) will reset me to a good ping, but eventually it'll go back up.
And there is nothing that could possibly raise my ping (like μTorrent, Hamachi, any kind of updates, etc.) open whenever I have ping problems. Nor am I downloading or uploading anything. The ping is high on its own.
