Slow internet speed

[ii lucky charm i]

Hey guys, I am living in an apartment. In the day, the connection speed seems to be pretty fast:



At night, I don't know why my speed went down from 2.34 Mb/s to about .98 Mb/s. I think the people living in the same building I am living in are downloading music at night. My problem is, since these people are downloading at night, I can't fully utilize the internet speed for my studies. Are there any ways to reserve a certain speed just for myself? Or anything I could do to increase my speed? I'm using firefox.

Bout the only way I can think of is get a faster speed. What I had to do, had to go from a meg connection to a 5 meg. If there is another way, I to would like to know about it. Hang tight and someone will be in.

When I purchased the rent, the 2.3 Mb/s Internet Connection already came with the rent. It's a student ONLY apartment complex.
