It was on "ADSL".

I just tried with "MODEM", and it seems to be about the same: about 
500-600 bytes/sec with an apparently completely static desktop; 
2-5kbytes/sec with 1-4 tiny performance monitor graphs in the panel. The 
bandwidth when running a full-screen screensaver is reduced to about 
50kbytes/sec.
