8 secs from hitting <reply> button to the point where the page was loaded and I could start typing this. Forget these show offs on broadband Ron, I'm on dialup too - Ozemail (which is now a sub-let of iinet) whom I have always found to be a fairly quick ISP, and admittedly it is usually after midnight when I log on, but I have not had load speedds as slow as you seem to be getting no matter what time of day I log in here.
However .. knowing where you live, having spent some time during my Telstra career here on the coast actually doing maintenance on your local exchange there, etc, speed can be very dependent on what kind of copper wire cabling is in your area (ie feeding from the exchange to yoruy premises) and unless it's been upgraded in the last few years there was a fair amount of the old lead shield / grease filled cables around there.
But you did also say that you get better speed on other sites which would seem to indicate the problem is not "local cable" derived - are we talking MUCH better speed from other sites, or "a bit quicker"?
