Wireless - am I right?

Mips

I have a PC which is usually on as my husband uses it, I connect to the Wireless on my laptop... and someone else connects to my wireless on their laptop.

Am I right in saying.. this is going to cause us all to have a slower connection?

Yes.

it depends on whether you are all downloading/uploading to the internet at the same time

And would that be more so if they were downloading music and things?

Technically yes, but if you're just surfing and e-mailing then in practice you'll probably not notice the difference. You'll only really notice it if you're all trying to download something all at the same time.

For example, if you have a 1Mb connection speed then the 3 of you will be sharing it. So if you do something on the internet while nobody else is then you'll get the full 1Mb to yourself but then if your husband then does something you'll share it at (roughly) 0.5Mb each and so on an so on for as many people you have sharing that connection.

I hope this makes sense.
