Bandwidth limitations?

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

There is something else going on to make your ping that high, it doesnt matter how many tabs you have open they run off of the ram beacuse those pages should not be using bandwidth, You throtle whenever you change pages of course but even on social networking this should not make you get 800 ping, sound more like he was uploading something to youtube or god bless you, torrenting.

so having the instant messenger services all running for 8 different sites wouldnt throttle

Having 8 diffrent IMs running at the same time is stupid. however even so they should be taking minimal bandwidth, and they would only take like one port each. unless they are all facebook esque IMs
