My two cents worth.
I only download once to burn a dvd. Thereafter, I download the updates. I only fetch the DVD about two days after the release. I also go to a site half way around the world, where the typical linux developer is asleep (local time 9pm, remote time, 3am), so that that mirror is not under heavy load. I get fairly good download times.
I find my own IAP hard to beat. In that timeframe I can easily download
locally on one connexion just as fast as my ADSL2+ connexion will go,
and it doesn't even count to quota.
With updates I use the designated mirror list. Usually find that updates rarely take more then 10 minutes of download time. No, I do not have super high speed, only DSL speed. I am not concerned about a difference of 10 megabytes, I am concerned that the rpm is received without corruption due to transmission errors. This is caught by rpm or yum.
08:17 [summer@mail ~]$ echo 1.5*60*10|bc
900.0

900 Mbytes in ten minutes. If you have a good ADSL2+ or better, it
shouldn't.
