Internet speed is only as good as the remote end. While you might have Gig speed, the other end might be throttling in anycase in order to manage thousands of connections.

Yeah but what I think what he means is that if family members push heavy traffic downstream (from internet to you) and the connection is shaped at ISP edge (which they will if they connect you with gigabit and you only subscribe to 100Mbps), they will not set prio on any traffic.
October 25, 20196 yr While it's better to throttle further upstream if possible, any reasonable server that isn't mounting a DoS-attack on you should eventually back off if it notices that you aren't receiving as fast as the server is sending. Indeed with TCP traffic that should happen automatically because the throttling means that the receiving device will be slower to acknowledge the received packets, which will eventually cause the server to slow down.
