If you login to the manage page - http://www.pool.ntp.org/manage -

According to my ntpstats collection, I'm currently using less than
5kbit/sec for ntp traffic. I would think that even a 256kbps
connection should be just fine for being in the global pool.
It's not the overall loads but the peaks. Actually, I don't really
know. I just know we've had a lot of people leaving lately stating
"traffic" as the reason.
Faster connections don't always mean they are less congested. A
10Mbit connection that is saturated and has a badly managed ntp server
on it is worse than a well run ntp server on an unsaturated modem.
A 10Mbit connection is entirely unlikely to be saturated by an extra
20KB/sec. One a small DSL it could be the straw on the camels back.

I think the results that you get from the server from your testing is
much more important.
I have thought of a few others things I'll try to improve the quality
of the zones typically used by themselves. (And eventually if we
ever get "enough servers" the pool in general). One of them is just
to make a "long term score" where you build the score much more
slowly and lose it much faster to filter out servers that are not
Very Stable.
