Node upload speed needed?

[Liquid71]

After reading this article http://www.coindesk.com/how-to-save-bitcoins-node-network-from-centralization/ which is good and very through provoking it left me with two questions I'm hoping someone can help answer.

I'm have 600 kbps dedicated for Bitcoin core upstream, ports are open for incoming connections. Is this enough speed to actually help the network at all or am I wasting my time? Also besides running core and having incoming connections what else can or should I be doing? I only ask because the article mentions how few go beyond opening ports...what else should I do?

Thanks, just wanna try and support BTC with the resources I have.

Thats helping.

I only skimmed it and the way I understood it is that they think "only a few get ports open". "beyond opening ports" would IMHO be to rent a VPS to have a node on a fixed IP with a better connection than most have at home.

Thanks! Figured it had to be helping, just not a "super node" lol.

Appreciate the response.
