I just moved into a sublet for a temporary few weeks while.
I checked the WiFi here during the day and the speed was rock-and-roll, and handed over my rent and deposit.

Now in the evenings, I can't even open my email because the connection is so slow. My iPhone (sends imessages over WiFi and couldn't even get a text message out without a thirty-second lag.)
I am guessing that the other people that live here, are Netflixing and streaming the whole night.

I don't know that much except the bare-basics of networks but
Is there anything that I can do to allow myself a little more bandwidth on the network? (preferably making this adjustment from my computer?)
I know this is a bit of a hacking question.... what are the options?
 
You have none unless you have access to router/access point.

buy your own internet or tether to your phone?
 
It is probably the other users of the shared connection. You can't do anything about that.

Get your own internet or only use it in the off hours.
