If I have a slow internet connection, can it slow down my entire computer system?

[8Ne0]

Before, I had high speed cable (about 5 Mbps) and my computer ran smoothly. When I moved, I changed ISP's and now the speed is about 1 Mbps. Could the slower internet connection cause my computer to run slower too? Like when I'm on the Internet and I multi-task and have other programs running at the same time, they seem to run slower now - which never occurred when I had 5 Mbps.
