Does having multiple tabs open slow my internet speed? - Daniel - 04-08-2014 08:54 PM

My brother insists that he's lagging on World of Warcraft purely because I have several tabs open on my PC.

unless you are switching in-between them allot it shouldnt be an issue and even then a webpage is usually about 1mb not much if you can get much more than that per second out of a router. But it sounds more like you need either a new router or faster internet. Tell him to plug in a ethernet cord and get a gigabit router.

yes as each tab will reserve a certain limited bandwidth to check server for changes
