Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

A good 'ol DSL 256k connection would be more than suffice.  Hell, I'd even say a 56k modem is capable of pulling it off.  It's not the internet speed that matters for mining, it's the hashrate per card(s).  But then of course, if your connection is wacky and you get dropped pings here and there.. that'll affect it too.

Unless you have a ton of ASICs and are maxing out your stratum difficulty shares or you have a bunch of getwork miners bandwidth is not an issue.  Ping time/latency is more important since lag to submitting shares can make then stale.
