That depends on what preset you select. On long fast, on meshtastic, it's only 1 KBPS, but on something like short fast, it can be something like 10 KBPS, and on short turbo it can be 20 KBPS.
Also, to address the channel utilization, telemetry has been disabled in the latest versions by default and you have to request it manually instead of it being sent out automatically.
Sure, but you mentioned meshtastic because of the larger network. but I'm reality nobody is using anything except longfast. In my area, long fast has 3 repeaters and I can connect to maybe 100 miles away within 2 hops .
Switching modes, there is some guy named Fred in the same town, and that's it. Lol
So at that point , you might as well use meshcore. Or in my case, reticulum
