I get frustrated doing transactions on my financial program over a 100Mbps LAN where the database is on another machine.

Now if you're connecting your financial database to a CRM, the issues start climbing fast.

The CRM needs to be on either a static IP where your ISP doesn't have an unreasonable email send rate, or you have to get adequate webserver space somewhere - probably VPS minimum.

The solution is setting up a VPN incorporating a VPS - and that would need super fast internet.
I agree completely with your statement, but its not always your connection thats gets the blame

Should the host of the website not be up to standard your site dns lookup can take 4 times longer

For example

A average hosting company loading a 35k Home Page takes 0.45 seconds
A fast reliable host for the same packet takes 0.15 seconds

Huge difference from the start
