It depends on a lot of variables: Network capacity of your ISP; Network capacity of Dell's gateway; How many network hops between you and Dell's gateway; The phone line you're using; The modem you're using (guess what - you're not really running the speeds that are advertised!); The machine you're using and the graphics capability of it; Dell did make the rather blatantly stupid assumption that all of the above factors would be optimized for most people trying to get to their site, so they designed almost everything for eye-candy purposes. Sounds like it was designed and built (like so many sites) in-house on a locally connected network and it probably looked really quick to them in that environment. A sad, but rather common situation.
