Think of you server as your house.
When someone knocks on your door and you are far from the door-- you will expend a lot more of your energy getting to the door to open it. Conversely, if you are near the door you will use a lot less energy. Either way -- opening the door and saying what is said takes the same amount of energy.
Bandwidth is just one factor to consider, available Free RAM and server load matter a lot. Say your page is cached in the swap file -- the load time may be 5 times longer than if that same page is in the RAM available cache. Say that page is not in any cache -- then the free RAM will mean a lot.
Generally, it is a bad idea to serve pop ads from a shared server.
