anytime two or more computers are sharing a connection the connection will slow down.
I take it that his computer is hardwired into the router and you are connecting via WIFI. If so your connection will be considerably slower when he is downloading.
You can hardwire your laptop into the router and speed it up but then you are limited by the cable's length.
The WIFI connection will always be slower than the hardwired connection. Sorry

You merely don't have enough bandwidth. Basically, you are trying to stuff more water through a hose than it can fit. Your dad is taking most of the water, so you are left with llittle yourself. Its like taking a shower with someone else in another shower. Sometimes you don't get as much hot water. The only real solution would be to get another connection/ upgrade yours, or to try to make a time (through the night or when you aren't playing) for your father to download his stuff so that it isn't while you play. Good luck!!

If you only have problems when he is downloading, then the problem is that he is getting all the bandwidth. I did not hear you mention a router, which would share the internet connection a bit more evenly.
Consider a wireless router.

Do you have the PS3 set to promptly get an IP address or did you place it manually? in case you place it manually you in addition to could could desire to enter the gateway address (192.168.a million.a million) and the DNS address (you ought to use the gateway address in case you have no longer have been given the DNS server's address.) If this is getting the address promptly it is going to connect with the internet if the router is hooked as much as the internet. Use yet another pc to make confident that the router continues to be related.
