I think the others misread your question. You're wondering if adding more wireless access points will increase the available bandwidth available for your wireless devices. Well, yes and no. I'm just learning this wireless stuff myself, so take it with a grain of salt, but this is what I understand.
Yes: if you have 2 or more wireless devices and have each base station use a different wireless frequency and have the wireless devices use either one of the stations. As far as I know you'd have full bandwidth for both devices.
No: if they are both configured to the same channel.. that they compromise the same network (access points can be configured that way). In this case, all devices are sharing the same channel and will be limited by the total bandwidth available on that channel.
Anyways, I think it is all a moot point. Your internet access speed set by your ISP is likely to be far lower than the speed of your wireless network, unless you're at a university connected to a huge fat Internet pipe. So in this aspect, the other answers hit it right on the head... you will be limited by the speed set by your ISP.
Happy surfing...
