I'm having a problem with one company, a cable Internet provider,

How quickly should a server time out while waiting for a response
from my server? What's a reasonable amount of time? Should a server
give up if there's no response within the first 10 seconds?
No, 10 seconds is absurd. A reasonable time is 30-90 seconds. And I
think 30 is a bit short.
As I recall, the "standard" recommends 300 seconds (5 minutes); I
think that might be a bit long anymore.
