Calculate how long it takes a 30 Mbyte message to go through a modem. Imagine if the poor sod waiting for it is downloading something else at the time.
Anyone still using a modem is indeed a poor sod The rest of the intarweb doesn't seem to care about modem folk anymore either. We're just doing what all the other kids do :-P
What's a modem? ;-P
A very bad joke, and a very sort point, but for me it's an unavoidable fact of life, at least until I move house.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Any possibility of bonding two modem connections to get a little more bandwidth? Don't know if your ISP would allow it, but might be worth asking.
