How fast the internet connection should be to trade the news spikes?
My personal hedge fund: www.darwinex.com/darwin/AYC
Faster than you can afford to pay.

But seriuosly, news trading is for the big boys, not small timers like us.

I would be more concerned about where your Broker fills the order, you can have the fastest internet connection on the planet and it will not make any difference. Try trading the news on a Demo account then try the same thing on a Live account and see how different it is.
Trade what you see not what you hope
Yeah not going to happen with a human. Need a super fast EA on a VPS that is right next door to broker.

there is the point!
there is always, always another trade!!
I think this is more depending on your broker/market access then any other thing. 2nd one is the internet speed.

To trade news you should access via HotspotFX or another major ECN. Not a retail brokerage!

No internet faster then the spike, some time you cant even see the price moving look at eurjpy today and see. You can only trade the pullback. During the first minute of the news, i dont know any broker would fill your order
