Yes it will slow donw your speed becasue you are sharing the bandwidth available to you.
how much depends on what each one is downloading and if all 3 are on at the same time.
If its just general web browsing there shoudlnt really be much of a noticable difference in speed. But on large downloads it may become noticable if all 3 are using the connection.0 -
it's shared bandwidth, so possibly if they spend all day downloading, for general web browsing, you probably won't notice.Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0
