To me, it’s been a while since 1Mbps was “quite a bit of bandwidth”, even for WAN connections.

Outside of major metros, in the US a lot of towns only offer up to 5Mbps down, and only then if you pay out the nose. Not sure if it matters for X forwarding, but upload caps are also ridiculously low even on otherwise reasonable connections.

Pretty much this. With 5 Mbps down on ADSL, you can expect 300 to 500 kbps up. It can be hard to remote connect home under those conditions.
