For what it's worth I used to use remote desktop from across the world on dialup, and it was certainly usable.

I use RDP pretty heavily in low-bandwidth and high-latency scenarios. In the last couple years I've seen a lot more software and websites using "fade in/out" effects that are utterly excruciating. Aside from those the performance is great.

In many cases we've found that RDPing to a system across the country to browse the web was a significantly smoother experience than trying to browse the web locally on that same connection. RDP is astoundingly good at what it does.
