You're probably right about our home network.
I think the router has a very low bandwidth (hardware wise),
probably because it doubles up as the decoder for the TV
contents being viewed on 2 to 3 different TV's in the house.
TV signals come directly to the router on the coax, and then
are sent back on the coax to the 3 TV sets.
We're stuck with what we have.
Of course you can always use a tool such as dig to see what kind of response times
you are getting.
for example....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ dig @8.8.8.8 www.ibm.com

Shows the query took 21 milliseconds
That value is good for comparison only as it is not
the real time. Take a look at this:
time dig @8.8.8.8 www.ny.com

So, the router or my super lightly loaded laptop,
or the ISP, must be the cause of such delays.
