I think that question is impossible to answer in general. If you have a user base in mind, it might be possible to start generalizing, but the internet as a whole is too diverse for averages to have any utility. For example, the Canadian government has (had?) a mandate to make its online properties accessible to 100% of online Canadians. Some huge percentage of Canada, by population, is urban and has broadband, but there are a heck of a lot of connected farmers in the middle of rural Canada dialing into the web at speeds like 56k. In my experience, these facts combine to make the government's websites seem rather low-tech. They do load nice and quickly, though. :) Anyway, my point is just that you need to ask your users what their connection speed is like, not the-internet-at-large, because the answers will almost certainly be different.
