Hi David, It's upload bandwidth that is important. 800 KB/sec (0.8 Mbps) is perfect for RemoteRig. I use it at K2LE/1 in Vermont, where we have 1.5/.8 DSL service.
I've operated a M/2 contest station over a 4G LTE cellular modem... so it's not as much as you would think. Latency is a factor. Jitter is the bigger killer. I've had many fine QSOs in contests wth >200mS of latency, but if jitter gets much over 20 or 30mS, it chops things up pretty badly. Of course, the more latency, the slower the audio catches up with you tuning the VFO. In the Continental US, I see 50-150mS of latency on average, which is perfect for RemoteRig and K3 work. 73, Gerry W1VE Remote Op at K2LE/1, VY1JA/VY1AAA, K1TTT, K6ND, VE4EA and others.
