Any connection has a fixed bandwidth. That said, if you have a 1mbps connection, 5 clients would spread out to 5 X 200kbps(~25 kiloBYTES/sec, the number your browser shows) each. I have a G4DP on a DSL modem and share that connection with my iBook via Airport. No base station, airport card in the duallie also. My DSL is 512 kbps and the only time I hit the limit is when I'm downloading something big on both Macs. Otherwise I see about 400kbps on a single download.
