This isn't any tech-support type thing, I am just trying to prove a point to someone and get information from people that know what they're doing, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone can help me out with a straight answer. Alright, story time. I have a really stubborn dad who likes to stream movies on his computer that he has hooked up to a TV in our living room; I like to play the video game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and I play it in a lot of my spare time.
My dad is convinced that the reason his movies keep constantly buffering is because of my computers actual SPEED, not from what I am doing on it, because when I close CS:GO, and use an offline program such as FL Studio, he still continues to say that I am using the bandwidth up even though task manager says no internet data (other than a few KBs every once in awhile) is being used. The one thing is that even though I am not using internet, if I turn my computer off and do the exact same thing on my laptop, he has no problem.
A Verizon technician told him that it doesn't matter that my computer has very good specs, and that it would make no difference on how much bandwidth is taken up. He also said that the same thing would happen if you were doing the same exact tasks on a computer with much lower specs.
This got me wondering, is it a pure coincidence that his video streaming stops buffering when I turn the computer off, or do specs actually make a difference on how much bandwidth is used? Trying to get him off my back here, so all ASAP help is appreciated.
tl;dr does how good my computer is make a difference on how much bandwidth i use?
