Cain't happen if you have 3M service. The 3M is for first connection (router in your case). Your pipe only supports 3M. IF both PC's are downloading the pipe has to be split. Think of it as a water line. If you are filling a bucket and it fills in 2 minutes and then you put a Y connection on the water line and fill two buckets at same time it will take approximately twice as long because the water line can only flow so much water per minute.

Not all tech's have equal knowledge so sometimes we get inaccurate information. And sometimes we hear what we want to hear.
