but the biggest problem tends to be idiots, not .. (Score 1)

older people. i deal with people every day at at work ranging in age from 25 to 60+ and the ones who complain most about their files taking too long to reach another location are the people around 40. they're the ones pushing 200MB cad files over a wispy little frac t1 and demanding to know why things are so slow. the people i deal with who are a little older tend to also be a little more patient unless they are in management. in that case, they all believe that their data will move faster if they just yell at someone about it and age is no longer relevant. and you can explain to them until you are blue the math behind their slow file transfers and they don't care. and they also don't want to pay for more bandwith.

bah.
