bandwidth question

Hi All,

A customer has asked me to do some human penetration
testing for PCI compliance.  I am planning on doing a bunch
of probing with nmap to look for openings.  I plan to log into
the customer's network with Open VPN over my DSL line.
(And Metasploit when I figure out how to use it too.)

Question: what kind of bandwidth do I need?  I have
~3 Mbps download and ~.7 Mbps upload?  Am I going
to swamp my DSL modem?  Or is there enough wait time
between probes that that is not an issue?

Many thanks,
-T
