Wifi speed fluctuation reasoning?

Hey, so i was playing an online game and all of a sudden I started to get these lag spikes every second. So it made it virtually impossible to play. I have a Motorola Router hooked up and a bunch of us are using it, which can cause the internet to slow down, but why would it be fine and then spike and then be fine again ect..?

I connected to my router and looked at who was connected to it and their speed. I kept refreshing the page really quickly and my speed kept going from 65000 (kbps) to 6500 (kbps) and back so i figured that this confirmed what was happening.

So my question is; what causes this, and how can it be fixed (if it can). Thanks

    Spyware infections. To many programs running background. Bad connection to the site itself.

    It is due to the problem of your connection settings, or it may due to multitasking ..
