At micro-level, the relationship between productivity and economy of time from faster Internet connections is more obvious than at macro-level. Documents downloaded in little time and a clear VoIP conversation depend on good connection speed and result in more job done in less time, but does a whole country become more productive with more bandwidth? This is the question that the author tries to answer.

Anyway, 4 Mb/sec is more than enough, IMHO. Eddy. Actually, you can have up to 20 Mb/sec in the UK, but that speed is rarely achievable due to infrastructure limitations.

But, I've also reached up to just above 500 KB/sec. I was equating the bandwidth to the threshold defined by ISPs, so 3.2 Mb/sec is what I get most of the time.
