As others have noted it's probably your ISP, or maybe something wrong with the system on your end.

When our kids were living at home and their friends were over they'd often saturate our medium speed DSL connection. I'd get irritated and limit the bandwidth available to our wireless guest service, then they'd convince me they "needed" full bandwidth for some reason, and the cycle would repeat.

Most routers these days will allow you to set up a single connection as a multimedia device, giving that one device priority over all other connections.
