Upload speed to Web Mail vs. POP server

I understand that web mail uses port 80 and POP email uses port 110.

I can upload an email with a 130KB attachment via my POP server in a few
seconds. The same message/attachment to a web mail server (using the same
Internet connection) takes over 4 minutes. I have tested this with two
completely separate web mail servers (using the same Internet connection)
and the slow results are the same.

Actually I get the same 4+ minute upload speed on two entirely unrelated web
mail servers. I have run the test several times and the upload to both web
mail servers is equal within a few seconds.

Can the ISP cap the upload speed of port 80 independent of port 110? If this
is possible it might explain the tremendous difference in times.

Any thoughts?

Sorry about the "multi-post", I thought I had the news reader set to send to
both groups with the first posting to windowsxp.general,
