Calculate how long it takes a 30 Mbyte message to go through a

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
There are still people in Northern New Jersey (less than 30 miles from
New York City), who still have no choice but to use a dial-up modem. I
was talking to one of them last night.
If you are near a major highway you should be able to get a cell
carrier's digital card, although the 'unlimited' data plans tend to be
expensive and not really unlimited. I've found a few places my treo
can't pick up email, but not many.
And there are always the satellite services like Starband if you are
really out in the wilds - at least in North America.
