I have Cox Cable and the only good thing you can say about these people is that a lot of fun can be had with the name. (My very first cable installation was done by Technick via phone and a sixteen-year-old hacker pal of my daughter's.) I surely didn't imagine *I'd* be the one to say "loaded in half a blink." I figured it would be somebody working with much more powerful equipment.

Two simple enough answers.

1. you already loaded the site in the past. So it's already "on your computer". Since its loading from what's called 'cache' it will be hella faster.

2. Think of the internet as a road system. More than one road lead to Anthony's servers and some are longer, have lower speed limits and are simply more congested... hence the different results.
