Answer by Jim Maryland
Technically it does, but only minimally for typical broadband users. I used to have SunRocket (before they closed down) and I seem to recall that it only needed up to 80Kbps max for bandwidth. Given most offerings are in the Mbps, a few Kbps is not normally going to be noticed.
