does increasing Broadband speed help with the broadband width?
Have uni accommodation at the moment. There's 7 of us and are on 60Mb and we are struggling for broadband width as there's so many devices connected. Would going upto 100Mb help with this issue?

Yes of course it does!
Instead of dividing 60 by 7, your dividing 100 by 7!

as you seem to have an easy option of electing for 100mbit, I am thinking you are on cable.
Cable suffers more due to other users usage than some other broadband technologies, and as the other customers are likely students as well then the physical limits of your local cable infrastructure could well be the limiting factor. If this is true upgrading to 100mbit will not affect bandwidth during peak times.

broadband width and broadband speed are the same thing, it would help if you increase the broadband speed but as you broadband is 60mbs you must have an awful lot of devices connected if it's slowing you down that much

what you need to do is use QOS in the router(if you have one thats got QOS)
quality of service allows you to specify various ways of controlling each individual device speed/bandwidth.
so if one of you is hogging it then they cant any more.
but what you should realise is
all the wireless devices SHARE the one wireless.
all the ethernet devices get their own cable!
