It depends. There are many factors that could impact performance:
1) internet connection used by the server;
2) internet connection used by the client;
The main problem that use to affect 1) is trying to use a common ADSL
line. This type of lines use to have a good download speed, but very bad
upload speed.
One thing that will affect 1) and 2) is latency.

3) Best program practices
Your software should be "aware" of the slow link. For example, "prepare
once and use many" is a must for slow links.
Quantity of fetch records is important as well, but in that case ZeBeDee
is quite good.

There are companies in the net that offer you this solution
pre-configured (DB Hosting + ZeBeDee)
Please see http://www.serverptbr.com

I never used Asta, but I think the speed will be much better. A 3-tier
will always have beneficts.

You have a TS like - see //http://www.graphon.com/ - that have special
prices for go-global "named applications". the price is higher than
Terminal Services, but you will need just to buy licences for
simultaneous users, and you will get access to your application from
everywhere (you just need a browser).
