It is a hard mathematical and physical fact that heavy users can slow other users down. Unless you are just playin with words when you say "everyone else on the network". You may have been lucky and always been able to download at full speed, but not everyone can claim this. Whether an area is overloaded or not is a matter of definition. Just because a customer cannot download at full speed all the time doesn't mean the area is overloaded. It is just contention taking its toll.
