This friend phones me and complain about his slow adsl line. He played around and realize , while just the modem is on, his internet is well. Then when his only computer at home starts, the internet slows down. All I know is he was on win8 and upgrade to win 10 when you could get it for free. He uses either internet explore to browse.

Guess what, it's upgrading again....
 
Windows 10 has a default automatic update setting that will download updates and then become a "server" for other computers to get their updates from his. Maybe that is causing it? I turned it off and internet at my place is fine with W10 machines. Maybe deactivate it and see if it helps? Google will point you to "how to...".

There's no fix unfortunately. I've Googled seems a few people have this issue.
 
Actually checked up on this for myself, you can limit it following this guide:
http://superuser.com/questions/1039229/limit-bandwidth-used-by-windows-update

If you want a short version:
right-click and make a text file and paste the following in, change extension to .reg and open it, allowing it to modify

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\BITS]
"EnableBITSMaxBandwidth"=dword:00000001
"MaxBandwidthValidTo"=dword:00000001
"MaxBandwidthValidFrom"=dword:00000006
"MaxTransferRateOffSchedule"=dword:00000100
"MaxTransferRateOnSchedule"=dword:00000100
Change the MaxBandwidthValidFrom as starting time, ending in e.g. 23 for 11pm, same for to, in my case it's from 6am to 1am.
MaxTranfserRateOff/OnSchedule is the speed it's allowed to download in Kbps, I limited it to 100Kbps. Windows update mostly keeps to it, averaging about 200Kbps now due to spikes of 400Kbps and goes back down to 100Kbps.
 
Had this as well. Turned out to be a huge folder trying to upload to onedrive.

This ^^

I have a 4mb Un-Capped line with 512kbs upload and it runs like a 4 mb/s line should. The moment I upload a video to youtube send a mail with a large photo from my phone , It totally kills the line.

Downloads dont affect the speed as much as uploads do. We can watch netflix and youtube at the same time without problems..
