Not the point... the line is probably capped at 10mbps down, and if two people are using it, that means you now only get 5mbps, which sucks.
It's not even the downloading part so much, but more the uploading. Cable and DSL upload-to-download ratio is notoriously disproportionate. You might be able to download at 16mbps (in my case), but the upload is only 1mbps. 1mbps is easily used up, and then once it's running full-pin, websites and IMs take forever to load.
