Hi,

I have a 200mbps internet connection provided by Cabovisão (I'm from Portugal but since i didn't found any help on portuguese forums i decided to try other ones ), to which I'm connected via Ethernet. It gives me around 20mbps of download speed and constant 60ms when playing games (League of Legends, Rocket League, CS:GO), but when my dad starts watching streams (He uses a program to watch television channels on his computer) my connection spikes between 1000-2000ms nearly every two minutes.

Is there any way of solving this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Sadly, no. No matter how much bandwidth you have, if someone is watching a video or downloading stuff while you're gaming, your latency will take a hit.

There is a QoS (Quality of Service) or Traffic Control option in routers that you can use to set the maximum speed used by a particular device. You can give that a try but I doubt it will improve your latency spikes...
