Compression won't get you "faster Internet" unless somebody else is
doing the compressing. The process of compressing (and decompressing to
a degree) slows the total end-to-end speed down.

What it does is lower the bandwidth capacity needed to transfer things,
and thus cost per message (in both bytes and money). Speed on-wire
(only) is increased, but the processing on arrival and before sending is
slower.
