Bandwidth is a function of the physical characteristics of the connection medium and of the devices forming the interconnections. A connection doesn't share its bandwidth; it posseses it. Users may devise ways to apportion what is there among themselves; they are powerless to transfer it to another connection by virtue of wishful thinking or smoke and mirrors.

Your friends are going to have to buy their own firehose or switch from a golfball to a marble.
