I don't personally have an answer for you. I'm not using GWT anymore these days--I've moved on to a new project and it's got nothing to do with the web. I stick around because I think it's cool tech and I'd like to come back one day.
I think narrowing yourself to urban US and urban Europe, and assuming broadband means you might be able to get some useful numbers, but I don't feel qualified to tell you what they'll be. I'm still curious to know the reason that you care about these numbers, though. If, for the sake of argument, 1Mbps is a good average, what does that tell you? I've seen "broadband" for sale anywhere from 128Kbps to 50Mbps. That's a range of at least three orders of magnitude there. Do you really care what the arithmetic mean is?
