Only thing to do is to contact your ISP and change your internet service pack to a faster connection (higher download and upload).

But why this is happening is because internet connection is shared. When he starts downloading something, he uses up most of the connection speed and you're left with slower connection.

i dont think it should be a problem. i got a good internet http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5698631126 it drops to like 1/30 if he starts to do anything. download, play games or watch youtube

 
You are getting good rates, but you have poor bandwidth.
Thats something you have to discuss with your ISP (new plan most likely).
I had the same issue on my home internet, not enough bandwidth. My college internet (were using a personal router off the main modem) runs 5 connections without a single impact on speeds regardless of data use. That is a high bandwidth connection.
