I have an ADSL2+ plan with iinet with 15G(on peak) / 20G(off peak) and connect at 1500/800
Yes that kind of connection it only goes on on Europe or on the othet site of the country like Asia too. Here in America is to slow, it like a third world for the internet.
I have a website on freehostia (i don't know what their speed is).
but I also host 3 websites on my own server with 750+ kbps upload and 10mbps download (doesn't really matter much I guess). it's enough for my websites because they aren't super huge, but are pretty average size.
