Where my rig will be placed there is no internet.  I have an AT&T USB modem that is getting around 6MB down and 3MB upload speeds.  Will this be sufficient?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Depends if you're going to mine in a pool, or solo.

I've seen people saying that 10kb/ps is enough for pool mining, since you only need to send the work in and out?

This answer might be a bit more indepth. See https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/360/what-are-the-bandwidth-requirements-of-a-mining-rig

I will probably start with Nicehash to get my feet wet then move to mining solo

For Nicehash you will probably need more than 10kb/ps and a requirement from the official Nicehash page says that you need a stable internet connection. Based on my personal experience a minimum of 4Mbit/Sec is the ideal speed if you want to also browse the net or use internet for other things while Nicehash does its own thing.
