Apple doesn't state having set a limit in the hardware or the OS.
However, consider that the bandwidth your carrier gives you will be split amongst the devices: each gets an equal size piece of the pie. What would be the minimum you'd want for each? Divide whatever bandwidth you're getting by that and you'll have a ballpark answer.
To measure how much REAL bandwidth you're getting (usually far less than what the carrier claims to give you), there are a number of apps to use. I'm partial to SpeedTest from Ookla. Free on the App Store.
