If you do a speed test, I suspect you will find your speeds are around 25-30 KB/s upload and 200 KB/s download after line losses, etc. and after converting from k bits/s to KiloBytes/s. 10-25% line loss is typical.
Browsers in general do not need much bandwidth, so I'd suggest you could give 80+% of the tested speed results to upload & downloading in LW.

I personally find the more bandwidth I give upload, for some odd reason the faster my downloads go. But my upload speed is up around 90 KB/s (around 750 kbs). I give maximum upload, it does not seem to affect my browsing, however it might for some people on slower ISP bandwidth plans.
