Lots of things can be causing slowness.

First, the numbers your ISP brags about is your connection back to them. Anything beyond that you are sharing the available bandwidth with all the other users on their service.

Also, their DNS servers may be slow - so when you ask for a name to address conversion, it takes 3 or 4 seconds before even trying to fetch the page you want.

Finally, Pelican may be slow, especially in the early evening.
