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

real    0m10.07s
user    0m0.01s
sys    0m0.01s

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