Nervous Client - He says "slow load times"

Need a favor. Client says that the pages of his web site load really slow. Has complained several times. Frequently gets Connected, waiting for reply (and waits for 5 minutes). I can go in and check and the pages load right up. Most in the 30-40 second range (56k). I think it is probably his ISP that is the bottle neck, but would like some input from you.

Thanks!

Think I will tell client to dump his ISP. Have had other troubles with them also.

Took about 2 secs to connect, 4 to start displaying and then 6 for the rest of the page - all on 32k.

Another reply with no substance:

It took me about 5 secs to load it all on my Global One 8 Mbit/s line

But mind you: I'm all the way over here in Sweden Smiling
