Run pingtest.net and make sure you have a grade A rating. You don't need much bandwidth as 1mbs in each direction is lots if you are the only user. However, latency issues will cause problems.
As I understand it, the K3/remote uses a remoterig interface. The problem may not be your ISP, but the routers you are using at both ends can contribute to your issues just as simply. Btw, I have been running a remote base with a ts480 for about 8 years. I do run CW by hosting n1mm at the far end and using a winkeyer.
