The limited data I've seen suggests the download speeds people get from the substitute servers vary a lot depending on their internet connecting peering and location, so it's quite hard to consider this in an abstract sense. Some people already get substitute download speeds that saturate a gigabit connection, while some don't. There has been work on setting up mirrors though, e.g. see [1] for some information and data on how these work for different people. 1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2023-05/msg00290.html
