For those of you under shared hosting, whats the minimum download/upload speed you’d want to your website?

I’m currently hitting 400-600kbytes/s from my two hosts, but I’m curious to know what sort of speeds to expect from "regular" shared hosting. Should I be contented or get more/less speeds ? Lets find out

Let me start off,

My location = UK
Host location = US west, US East
Speed = 400kbytes/s , 600kbytes/s
