There are about 7000 answers to this question.

You are using a PC, or an X-box?

If there is a router, your roommates computer should not matter. Does yours work when his is off.

Are you sure you are attached to the router, not another one nearby?

Can you see other networks nearby? What channel are they on? If even 2 or more routers near each other are on the same channel, it can make connections suck.

That is a start. In general, Internet connections are WAY slower than even crappy 11mps 802.11b wireless connections, so there is something funky with the wireless config...
