Question about 1X

It has been said many times that 1X will allow data to be transmitted at 144Kbit/s. What I am not sure about is what happens to this throughput if, say, ten people simultaneously start downloading some heavy graphics stuff from some Swedish web site. Will the throughput of each individual download fall to 14.4 Kbit/s? If so, then how will the same scenario affect a GPRS cell? We keep hearing that GPRS phones can not transmit/receive data faster than 20Kbit/s because they overheat. But in case of multiple simultaneous downloads the difference between 144Kbit/s and 20Kbit/s may become much less significant. Am I wrong? Engineer, or somebody in the know, please help me out on this.

Many thanks
