    It depends... Usually no one will notice any impact on bandwidth, unless your doing bandwidth intensive stuff.

    Litterally, the answer should be "no" since the question was phrased "the connection"... the connection should show the same throughput up and down. The clients may see some impact, though.

    Remember that downloading is usually much higher bandwidth than uploading, and that some things like online games, grokster/kazaa, and streaming multimedia are the bandwidth hogs.
