pure technicality, you could run voip on 30k uploads, if the traffic
is prioritized for it
the catch is that the second you hit latency on that kind of
connection, call quality will go down the pipes until the latency goes
away
different types of compression may help compensate, but personal
experience says the bar is right around there

it is possible to run voip connection off satellite/RF connections,
but in that case, the provider has to put thought into it -
storms/latency can be bigger issues than normal there

(i used to work for a company that does exactly that)
