You know, I rarely find myself needing the horsepower that say a gamer might need - most of the things I do on computers are retro, or low CPU needs; I think the same holds true for the internet connections I need. While I'd prefer 1GB, I think 200mb [or 400, in my situation] is plenty - I might not even notice the difference.
