You don't say if your PC upstairs is wired or wireless. where is your router?
The number of people using your frequency is nothing to do with cable/ADSL at all as your PC seems fine. Hubby is right. It's down to your wireless settings. The fact that you have problems at peak times verifies this.

If you are brave, try downloading Xirrus WiFi inspector or InSSIDer (google them). Both are similar. They will show you who your WiFi neighbours are by each channel. All you have to do is find a quiet channel or one with a small signal compared to yours, log into your router and change the channel to the quiet one. Wait a few minutes for yor devices to catch up and you should be sorted.
