The amount of internet data used by Remote Desktop will depend on the type of connection, the activities you are doing on the remote computer, the type of data being transferred, the size of the data being transferred, and other factors. Generally, the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) uses between 500 Kbps and 2 Mbps of bandwidth when transferring data.
It depends on the application and usage. Typically, remote desktop applications use a moderate amount of internet bandwidth, usually in the range of 1–2 Mbps. The actual amount can vary widely depending on the number of users, the resolution of the screen being shared, any video conferencing or file sharing that‘s in use, and other factors.
