Using a remailer doesn't hide the fact that the sender is using a remailer. An eavesdropper who monitors incoming messages to the remailers can easily learn who is using them. A constant bandwidth connection will at least disguise *when* the messages are sent.

Using a constant bandwidth connection just to the remailer network is a waste. Better set up such a connection to a Pipe-net or Onion Router network. The you can use the pipe for other services then mail. A welcome side benefit would be that this conceals the use of "mail" remailers

Agreed, mostly. But your solution would be more expensive. "Constant bandwidth" does not mean you have to soak up every available bit, it just means you your usage should be consistent and look the same from the outside whether you are sending things or not.
