Okay, so about 2 months ago, my girlfriend got ADSL in her apartment in bloomington, which she shares with 2 other people. The problem is, the other two people play UO damn near obbsessively. The result is, that when they're playing UO, she doesn't get a decent connection. The line is about 1500 down/512 up (i think), but she ran a speed test while they were both playing, and the speeds were somewhere around 56 down/36 up. The roomates said they wouldn't stop playing UO, but they would try to limit the amount of bandwidth it uses.
So my question is this, is there some type of config tool built into UO, that can limit the amount of bandwidth that is used? Or is there some way to tweak the connection so that each PC gets approximately 1/3 of the bandwidth? I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to broadband connections and sharing them. If there's nothing that can be done, I think she's going to get a wireless card and tap into the neighbor's WLAN and use thier connection.
