Your cable modem might prioritize by MAC address. Therefore, when you both try to use the network, you end up getting all of the bandwidth. Of course, you don't use all the bandwidth available, so he will get some every now and then.
I am not sure how your cable modem makes routing decisions, so I can't help you further in that regard. If it can get a firmware update, then you might want to try that.

A standard modem/router wouldn't prioritise anything, they're not clever enough.
As each packet arrives at the router the header is inspected and the packet is forwarded to the correct address by the internal switch. They arrive in series.
