Whenever my sister PQs (APQ, CPQ, etc.) while I'm watching a video, loading a heaving page, or similar, she blames the lag on me (we use the same modem), then gets mad when she loses as a result and her opponents call her "noob" or something. As a result, she tells me to "pause the video for a few minutes" or something which doesn't help at all because it still loads. She also gets mad when the phone D/C's her and tells our parents to "not pick up the phone", "use a cellphone", etc. So... is my sister being reasonable...? -.- Edit: Just so no one misunderstands, I do what she says. I don't like to argue.

Nope, tell her to deal with it or get her own modem.

She sounds spoiled. The answer is no.

Rofl, whenever something is downloading, a wireless conection/wired connection is all lagged up (loading a video, talking on the phone)

shes not spoiled, id be very angry too if this happened. @bob maybe shes using a wireless connection with a 2.4ghz wireless phone which interferes with the wireless internet.

Get better conection. If youre using wireless, switching to wired would make it faster.

. @hoop wired isnt faster than wireless for the normal users connection. Btw if ur using Ethernet connection, maybe you dont have a modem filter.
