And now for a serious answer....

Unless CCP has given the client a built in torrent server/client for patch distribution, there's no way it's pulling enough data or using enough connections to directly affect your connection.

On the other hand if you're using some form of internet connection sharing and the computer you're playing Eve on is also acting a the gateway for all other devices in your home then perhaps there's a connection between performance of your computer when playing Eve and your GF's internet connection, i.e. You're taxing your computer playing Eve, therefore Windows is sacrificing internet performance to devote more resources to your gaming experience.

If you have a router acting as the gateway, then IDK, could be any number of things.

Don't ban me, bro!

Ok it's not eve, I disabled the eve client unplugged my wireless and plugged my ethernet directly.

I ran a speed test and I'm under 1 mb /s

powering off the modem made no difference.
Resetting my modem helped I'm at around 4 mb /s now....

However I think it still may be an issue with my old modem.... it's just old.
