The internet could have been busy at the time. But I have had the same problem. I have 2 computers hooked to the same dsl modem and when they are both on, the speed seems to slow down.
I called a tech about it and he told me that it is because the one modem is trying to give juice to both computers.

Maybe the ISP was on overload or had some servers down ?
Everybody in the ‘dorm’ hitting the ‘showers’ at once ?

Try clearing out your internet temp files…. and reseting your router. Often times the more computers you have connected to a router, wireless or wired, the slower it’s going to run. If you’re laptop is right next to your router and it’s running less that 54 Mbps, then you should try reseting your router, usually a button on the back.
Try using this program. It’s called ccleaner, it cleans internet temp files for IE, firefox, etc.

It is possible that your wireless router is not seured with proper password and some one had access to it at the same time you use it. Check this aspect.
