There seems to be some (or rather a lot of) debate about the actual bandwidth needed to have a successful experience with online jamming. Be it with JamKazam or any of the other options. Also the 'magical' 25 Mbps seems to come up more often than not, and has indeed also been mentioned by myself. Most figures are being mentioned as examples or guidelines for users to have a basic reference.
Mind you, the actual bandwidth you use jamming with e.g. JamKazam, according to whatever 'scientific' calculation one want's to use to gather that information, is not the maximum or even minimum you want to shoot for. Any use of your connection, and most people would be surprised by what actually passes through their wires, is in addition to what e.g. JKZ uses when you are trying to jam. So, ample overhead in your DL/UL possibilities is desirable for most users with any other network taxing equipment in their household.
Now, moving away from the mystical bandwidth issue for a moment. More important is how 'healthy' your connection is. How much 'noise' or jitter (latency) is being introduced by your LAN, your (any) WiFi use and the networking equipment between you and your jamming peers. Of which most is beyond your control ... .
And because of this "a convincing authoritative statement" regarding this issue would be debatable at best.
