Latency means the length of time that it takes for a single packet to go from your computer to a destination and then back again. The lower the latency, the fast and more stable a network. The higher the latency, the more packets that are dropped and the more unstable a network.

Certainly (connections mean more computers, not multiple websites accesses) but sometimes latency can occur without the extra connections.
