Your connection speed has nothing to do with lag, it's irrelevant.
What you need to know is your provider's latency. Latency is not affected by your connection speed, only by back buffers, distance to the other point, path taken by your data to the other point, and technology of communication (which includes use of QoS).
So basically, you're not searching for the right measure. BUt a lot of people have a very poor understanding of technology, especially in gaming. Most people don't understand the difference between bandwidth (what they call speed) and latency.
That's why even on this site, you have lots of stupid comments based on false premises, like DVD faster than BRD, or Flash memory faster than (SCSI, SAS, ...) hard disks, ...
