It'd be painfully slow - especially if all 25 computers were using the 
connection at the same time.

One or two concurrent users wouldn't be so bad - except if you were talking 
graphics intensive apps {web pages}, or something like streaming video/audio - 
then it'd just suck.

Technically, 25 computers could share the same line - actually, if you tried, 
the line would just grind to a halt.
