Why don't you talk to her or your parents about making times for you guys to do what you want. For Example your sister using the computer from say 6:00 to 12:00 you using the computer from 12:00 to 6:00. I' m glad to be of help. I don't know about the nasty looks most likely she learned that at school or something like that. Autistic people tend to imitate things. I do this myself.

Maybe she would agree to a way where only one of you are online at a time. Print a schedule of the hours when you are both awake. Then, roll dice to see which of you would get to choose his or her first hour. Then the other person chooses an hour, and so on. When all the waking hours are chosen, agree to stick to the schedule for a month. The following month, roll the dice again and set a new month's schedule. Enjoy!

Wait. You are 26. Your sister is 14. You live at your parents house. If you want your own personal internet, buy your own connection. Yah. It IS annoying to continue to have to share with siblings. That's why most people move out of their parent's house. And I get that a lot of young people can't afford to do that anymore. The economy sucks and government services are harder to come by for people who need that. But the fact remains, you are an adult living with your parents. That comes with the responsibility to act like an adult.

You have to share with your little sister. She has every right to listen to her music any time she wants. You do not have the right to tell her that she can't listen to her music because it slows your download time. You do not have the right to make her conform to a schedule so that you can have the online freedom you want. She has a right to use YOUR PARENTS' internet connection 100% of the time. It is not yours to roll a dice and divy up. The only people who have the right to control your parent's internet connection are your parents.

Buying your own internet connection costs about 100 dollars a month here in the US. There are many, many ways you could make that money. I would suggest you figure out a way to do that. Then, and only then, will you have the right to decide who can use that connection, and how they are allowed to do so.
