Not a very good analogy at all. If someoneis driving an older slower vehicle at 80 km, you can pass them, but it won't affect their performance. If someone on dialup opens a thread with large embedded content that only took you seconds to upload, they either have to close out of that thread and not read any of it, or sit for a long time waiting. I recall one thread I tried to keep up with when I was on dial-up that took hours to load.
