Why is my ping in playing good but the download so bad?

Go

If I e.g. Playing Fortnite and wanting to run Spotify at the same time, my ping goes from 20 to 150 or even higher. I play with a Tp-Link LAN adapter. Is that normal?

Je

Have to uninstall frontier, that solves all the problems

So

Adapters are always such a thing…

With our 200k line, the adapter only transmits 50k, yours may only transmit 10k or less

It is quite possible that your line is not very good and that spotify pushes your line to the limit. This can give you an increased ping.

Cl

Ping only contains a DNS search without bandwidth usage and download may need to be done. All available bandwidth (if it can't be limited).

If the line is used for other purposes, the ping naturally also slows down.

It is good to know all of this now, it just doesn't help. That's just the way it is and can't be changed.

Logic?

Can you adjust something there?

OK

Ping only includes a DNS search

The ping means from the point in time from which I send a request to a server until it answers.

If the ping was the time of the dns request, I would have a ping of 0 at my home if I went to google.com again and again, since my dns server caches the IP for this period

Cl

But it doesn't work that way. Contents such as images, texts, etc. Are cached in the browser, no ip addresses

Mu

I don't say anything either. My dns server at my home caches them. And the ping is still not the time of the Dns request

Cl

Would be nonsense. As the name suggests domain name service, only domains are saved there, but the ping reaches the actual hosts and the ping is the round trip delay (RTD) to the host and back, analogous to an uboot sonar.

Ping only includes a DNS search

But would you have said differently from the beginning

I used a shortened representation which was not essential for the facts. It was about a content-non-content-related comparison, which should actually save me lengthy explanations.
