BIS server pull faster than 15 minutes if it's an active account. It will check for mail every 15 minutes, if mail is found it goes on a 2 minute polling cycle until no mail arrives and returns to 15 minutes.

Yahoo and Gmail on 143 are instant even if the connection is not active. The mail hits Yahoo on the web and instantly it's on the BB. Add in SSL like Hotmail does and you start rolling like you mentioned above - every 15 minutes if it goes idle.
As for 110/25 I would expect better than that for a Blackberry.net address. I would expect what the others offer in regard to SSL.
In the end... the company that delivers the "instant push" - even if the connection has gone inactive - with SSL enablement is the winner. I hope RIM delivers this first...
