What speed do you get? What's your housemate doing on their computer?
I had used to live with 3 guys, all playing games, this was roughly a 16Mbps connection. As soon as someone started uploading (or heavily downloading) the game would lag incredibly bad and then there'd be a witch hunt to find out who it was.
Could try net limiter 3 to see what's using the bandwidth on the computers.
Edit: Your housemate doesn't have torrents running in the background do they seeding which they don't know about?

It's just one girl, and all she does is stream films, watch youtube videos, and use skype (possibly the problem)... Oh, and Facebook... Endless Facebok.
I was actually going to download netlimiter on her laptop today, hopefully she doesn't do a U-Turn and decide I should be downloading anything on her laptop!
I don't believe she even knows what a torrent is, so I find that unlikely.

Sorry, we should have seen this on Friday.
Make sure your house mates aren't maxing the upstream on your router. That is often the main thing which causes problems. Our traffic management should mean that your gaming is protected from their actions as long as the upstream isn't maxed.

Considering the measly upload rate we get, it wouldn't surprise me if that was maxed out all the time. But I don't know how to actually check that, and I must say, the Technicolor router is terrible;
There are no options to control bandwidth limitation, and the 'built in' QoS is clearly terrible. The 'gaming mode' hasn't made any difference at all, and there is no way to monitor traffic.
So how do I check if she is maxing the upload? And if she is, what can I do about it?
Today's Speedtest.net results:
Ping to closest server: 43ms
Download speed: 7.78mbps (lower than usual)
Upload speed: 0.32mbps (pretty pathetic)
