Not quite. Compression could benefit network connections of any bandwidth,
it's just that you need more processing power for more bandwidth.
However, there is a catch:
The fundamental difference between low-speed and high-speed connections
is the type of data that is transferred across it. More specifically, on
low-speed, more of the data is of a compressible nature (such as text), and
on high-speed, more of it is already compressed (like jpg images or video).
