In that case as Christopher says you probably have the screens clogged. The last thing the water touches in each spigot has a screen except for the washer and outside hook up. Unscrew the ends and wash out the screens.

Assume, without measurement, that all outlets except the basement utility faucet and outside bibcock are low output. Now check if the shutoff valve is downstream of the meter (if any) but there is a outlet upstream of the shutoff valve. This outlet pipe should be connected to the bibcock and the basement utility faucet. If this is the situation there is a pressure or flow reduction valve (probably static in the system and maybe unintended -- you might check the blueprints if you have them) probably near the shutoff valve. I know it sounds dumb (since you could not turn of a high pressure valve in an emergency, but would have to turn off at the meter, but that is approximately the way things are here. When the downstream shutoff valve coupling cracked, I had to machine a replacement and I bored a bigger flow reduction valve.
