Explain how your Internet connection is set up, whether it's wireless or not. If they are truly piggybacking off of you, then a properly set-up firewall or router password will keep them out. But if they're part of the same LAN as you are, then your connection speed will occasionally be slow. Same with cable, since it's a shared connection - it'll sometimes go slow, depending on how many people are online at the time. For apartment buildings on a single cable line, there'll sometimes be a lot of difference in speed.
