As a guide, I'm finding it takes typically 27 - 32 seconds for the new screen to appear from the green Alfasud page.
Not as it's perhaps a great help, but the AlfaOwner.com site in the UK, which is similar in layout and format, takes two or three seconds to display a new page. |
Based on your 2nd paragraph, I get the impression that you are dealing with a timeout condition that may be the result of suppressing ads. Filter settings (often altered by automatic updates) may also explain why AlfaBB was quick for you one day and then slow again.
As posted elsewhere, Internet Explorer waits and presents a more or less blank screen until all content has arrived (while Firefox displays content as it arrives). So, if a filter suppresses part of the page, IE waits until a timeout for these parts of the page occurs (often showing an "Errors on page" message at the bottom of the screen).
The problems you encounter are most likely client or software based (including security enabled routers). The challenge is figuring out the cause(s) that create the problem on all 3 machines you are using. That being said, I wouldn't let the ISP off the hook yet and there is a possibility that routing through the Internet (a slow or saturated link somewhere in between) may play a role with these problems.
