However I doubt that there is someone being a bandwidth hog, and your connection won't be that dramatically cut . You will probably find those on Messenger at the same time as you are slowing it down. I generally think your school's Internet is slow 
Thats not exactly, true. If there are 10 people on the line at the same time, it is very unlikely that they will be sending out a request or receiving something at the EXACT same time.
Most home broadband connections share the same line with around 50 other people, yet you rarely get any slowdown as a result.
