I feel helpless as a rural resident and it's Facebook's fault.

Disclaimer: I know that between being bent over the barrel on ISP (lack of) choice and (questionable) quality, playing League is already a very difficult social balancing act within my household and that as an adult, I need to find compromises and shouldn't make such a click-bait title but how else am I going to get you to read this?

Long story short: I can deal with YouTube videos being spammed, I can plan around weather conditions, and I can even tolerate me and my teammates genuinely having "off" games.....but why is Facebook such a goddamned bandwidth hog?

Is it the whole 'infinite scrolling' thing? Is it auto-play videos my family just scrolls past within said infinite scrolling without pausing? Are there advertisements everywhere on the site? (I wouldn't know as I don't use Facebook, myself)

But whether it's playing games or simple browsing, the INSTANT anyone visits that goddamned site, I start lagging and rubber banding and it doesn't stop until several minutes AFTER they completely exit out of it and since I'm not the one in charge of matters (the one who, sorry to say, is completely technologically incompetent, he thinks the receptionist he pays the bill to is the person to ask so we can't even get any word more than 'did you wiggle the white cord?'........THERE IS NO FRIGGING WHITE CORD! because she's just paid to take calls and take your money, she's not a freaking technician!, she's old enough to be my grandmother, for god's sake!)

I don't know, I'm sorry to vent in such a way but I'm already forced to stay up at absurd times to ensure I have time as the exclusive user (and it's always when I have to be up in 3 to 4 hours afterward) but when everyone leaves the house for the evening and comes back without so much as a whisper and pulls out their phone to wifi it up on Facebook (and it's literally just this site, my family is just full-on addicted to it, more than I am to League), I instantly know and it makes it impossible to play. Nobody likes it when a simple click-to-move command takes literally MINUTES to resolve, assuming I'm not caught out and murdered for daring to play a game, heaven forbid.

I don't know, maybe it's never really affected me to this degree before because I had very low expectations and I finally had (past tense, everyone altered their plans without a word) the house to myself, I never get to do anything for Halloween anyway and the one time, the ONE EFFING TIME OF THE YEAR I REALLY NEEDED SOME "ME" time......I'm on the verge of having a meltdown because of shit beyond my control.

Again, I'm sorry to vent. It's just so much I can take, day in and day out and I guess it's not really anyone's fault but it feels really shitty and I'm tired of fighting an uphill battle all the time.

Downvote and ignore away.....I'm sure this topic deserves it.

But seriously, though, Facebook is a bandwidth hog the likes of which I have never seen before. Why?
