We have a BSNL broadband internet connection. Two users are sharing the connection via a hub directly (no connection between 2 computers). One user doesn't need more browsing speed. But the other user does need more speed as he watches videos, does videos chats and plays online games.

Is there any way to control the access speeds in both computers?(One is laptop & another one is desktop. And desktop needs more speed here.)

Note: I checked this question on superuser but I couldn't get the solution.

There is no good way. The bandwidth you're trying to preserve is the inbound bandwidth from your ISP to you. By the time your hub receives a packet, the earliest it could do anything, that packet has already consumed your inbound bandwidth. Unfortunately, residential Internet access is just not designed to do this.

There are ways you can preserve latency during bulk downloads so you can game while you're watching videos. But that's about it. (The basic idea is that you limit the device doing the bulk downloads to about 85% of your bandwidth. That doesn't slow it down very much, but it does keep the queues much emptier, improving latency. You configure this in the computer itself.)
