https://eyes.jpl.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html shows the current status of the DSN, including bandwidth for each stream. Pretty interesting.

Apparently using the mars orbiter as a relay they can get up to 30Mbps. I couldn't find out what the transmission rate for lander -> orbiter is though. However lander direct to earth is in the Kbps on a good day.
