Shouldn't QoS* priority be the same thing just less obvious? If you wanna be just a little bit of a horror story
I mean, I did sorta try not to be a nuisance with it. At least for large downloads I tried to do those late at night and then unthrottle once they finished
but one night I fell asleep with the throttling left on and then the next morning my landlady knocks on my door with one of my neighbors who's rather distraught looking, and says "I know this is weird to ask but you're my granddaughter's age and she's good with tech... [neighbor] works from home and can't get her video calls to connect, can you reset the router for us?"
10 minutes later I'm a "hero" and got to experience a truly deserved level of guilt ๐ซ
Not all routers have it
