Yes, I agree with Karl. You can talk with your tech support and see if you have mod_deflate enabled, it's just too easy.
You can check if your server supports it by using phpinfo() (if using php). Look for the http accept encoding statment, and you should see gzip or deflate, or both. Like this. HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING: gzip,deflate.
