I realize that transfer rates across the Internet diminish significantly
with latency, but what's the good answer for someone shrunk down to
<10Mbps when the smallest pipe between them is 100Mbps and latency is
<40ms?


Without window scaling (RFC 1323) your max transfer rate at 40ms RTT is

65535*8/0.040 = 13.1 Mbps. So slightly less than 10 Mbps isn't too
unexpected.
