Hi,
are you talking about network sharing or generally about your network connection?, your maximum connection speed is set by the MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) setting of your router!, this differs from one internet service provider to the other, depending on what type of router you have, ADSL or DSL router; DSL modem or dial up modem!!.
Not really sure if this is what you need:

You can have up to a max of 64511 connections depending on the protocol and the ports being used.
examples:
FTP can have 64511 using 2 ports.
SSH can have 64511 using 1 port.
Keep in mind that doesn't mean that everything will go flawless le, if you have 60,000 ppl connecting to your computer, chances are your disk drive can't read fast enough to service all of the request. Unless you happen to set up your Zorin OS on a cluster.
Simple answer:
enough to not worry about it for home use.
enough for small business use (I would advise against this)
maybe not enough for large scale business use.
If you are wanting to host files in a business type environment, then you may want to look at getting some server hardware, and perhaps a Server Operating system, although you can use Zorin OS.
