Does the number of users affect connection speed?
Yes. Everyone in the same wireless cell shares that cell’s bandwidth, so your actual speed will depend on how many other people are logged on in your location. For typical Internet applications like surfing the web, checking e-mail and instant messaging, a single access point can handle over 30 simultaneous users with no noticeable drop in performance. For high bandwidth applications like video conferencing or music downloads, even a single user might be enough to notice a performance drop.
