My own experience is that text user interfaces over mosh work far better than web applications when on a crappy connection.
My experience isn't specifically with textualized-based applications though (one is irssi, the terminal IRC client, and some with proprietary applications from $work).

Look at how sparing vim is with screen updates. I don’t know if it was intentional, but works out nicely, and makes it a godsend if what you have is 3G which is somehow worse than EDGE has been 15 years ago. I have a hunch this TUI would struggle in these circumstances.
