I'm on dial up. I live 30 kms out of Bundaberg, QLD.

When I clicked the link, the RD (receive data) LED on my modem blinked
on straight away.

44 seconds later I got the banner.

1 min 40 secs after clicking I got some text.

4 mins 25 seconds after clicking, the page looked mostly done, but it
asked if it could set a cookie, which I denied.

6 cookie denials later and a total of 4 mins 45 seconds, it was
finished loading.

Oh, and FireFox also told me "Additional plugins are required to
display all the media on this page". I suspect it wanted to bombard me
with flash based ads which usualy take an unbearable amount of time to
load.
