Narrative:
On localizer with first officer flying, approach asked out speed, 170 KTS. You were assigned 210. I think I said needed to slow to get down. ATC then gave aircraft behind us spacing vectors because the 'guy in front slowed too soon.' with a very congested frequency, I couldn't get a word in for a speed reduction.
