Make sure all PCs are clean and protected and then when your connection slows down find out which one is hammering the connection. Simple things like setting windows auto update to run in the early hours of the morning and blocking software from phoning home for updates can make a difference.
If one PC is downloading from a good source it may be slaughtering the download bandwidth or you are P2P'ing then you may find it's the upload killing you.
