Internet is internet, it doesnt matter if the PC is better or not. You have 2mb/s internet, you will get 2mb/s on every computer. Correct me if Im wrong Link to comment

I don't see the logic behind what would make it faster. If anything I would guess it would be slightly slower since he would need the receiver. It's more than possible for me to be wrong though, so do wait for other opinions, but nothing in my mind says that it makes logical sense. Again, I don't know a whole lot about how they work though.

However, most of it relies on how much bandwidth is being taken up. So, consider you have a 2 Mb connection; if your brother has 1.5 Mb of porn downloading, you're left with only half a Mb. With that aside, I have the same setup in my house in Milwaukee. The modem is plugged into the decked-out computer and there is an older one in the other room. Both run the same. Link to comment

In long, please do. I can EASILY understand if my 4th grade internet logic is completely wrong, but that same setup works perfectly well with me.

Obviously, downloading/uploading will affect both of your connections. Like Neji said, internet is internet. Link to comment
