If your on dial up it makes no difference if you upload the files or 
email them
they are still the same size and it takes the same amount of time. 

I am on 28.8 dial up yet here, nothing else available but satellite for 
85 and up a
month,  but I dont have any problem uploading files to LOTW,  you just 
have to
do it regular and keep the files smaller.   To start LOTW I broke up the 
log
into sections to keep the size down and loaded them when I had the best
connection.   Can be done with no problems.
