Hi

My sister just recently moved in with me and she has her own mweb account which is an uncapped 1MB and I have my own capped account which I'm using on a 10MB line
Can I just set up/create a PPPOE connection through network and sharing on her PC with the mweb details and she can use that and download/stream etc and I can use mine.
Will this cause massive amounts of lag for me on my account or will i hardly notice it ?
 
They not both uncapped
Sister - uncapped
Me - 20gb capped
I dont want to use hers because of the download speeds I will get :p
 
Yes you can , provided your router allows ppoe passthrough.

You will hardly feel it on a 10mb line. Only if one person uploads a huge file, it may have a greater impact.
 
I would put the 1Mbps uncapped account on the router, and run a PPPoE session on your PC for your 20 GB account when you want more than 1Mbps shared. Worst case, you should get close to 9Mbps on your capped account, in fact you may not notice much difference at all.
