I am astonished that EQ uses more bandwidth than the newer MMOs. When it came out i was playing it with my 64k baud modem without a problem. But since the client is more recent, maybe it uses up more bandwidth now.
In an MMO bandwidth is used to inform your client of the world state. In case of EQ it only needs the zone state. So if you are in zones with low population the used bandwidth should go down. This is just my theory, but its logical.
