....the difference being that most people connecting via an ISP are connected
via modem rather than ethernet, and so see a data transfer rate which is about
2 orders of magnitude slower.
Ignoring compression, a 3Mb mail message will take about 15-20 minutes to
deliver over a modem. It'll take a few seconds over ethernet.
