Hello,
I’m posting here to get some information and, if possible, a suggestion for correcting my problem.
First of all, I want to say that I’m not at all familiar with IT terminology. I am connected to a Wi-Fi network, without Ethernet access, called Smartcampus_WiFirst in a university residence, without access to the modem.
So... "Difference between Ko and KB"... I have made two distinct downloads and noticed that the values used during these two downloads are not the same: Ko for streaming a video and KB for downloading an online game.
My problem lies here: the first varies greatly and can go from 250 Ko/s to 22 Ko/s without any change (opening a web page or anything) on my part, while the other remains stable with a good speed, at 550 KB/s.
Why does one of them fluctuate like that? It's very annoying because at certain times it drops to 0 Ko/s and the loading stops.
Is there a way to stabilize the first at a good speed? Or to balance both?
Thank you for your responses, as quick as they may be.
