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.
We live about thirty miles West of Norfolk, VA and all that's available
is dial-up. The cable company wanted $6000 to provide service, a matter
of a few hundred yards/meters. Our only option is satellite service
which works better than dial-up but not as good as the cable company
service I had in Florida.
