For your issue you'd want to avoid all images I would think. Hiding smileys and text colors/annoying fonts won't do much for bandwidth issues.

Luckily under your control panel, settings & options, edit options you have an option called "Show Images" (as well as Show signatures and Show Avatars) which you can disable. That would make the site basically text only and would help with a severely bandwidth limited connection.
