Gets irritating quite fast, doesn't it? I'm used to having a good connection, and I'm a fast pase person when it comes to the internet, so I'm just facepalming when it takes five minutes to load one page, then another five minutes to load its content. It definetly does suck.
For me five minutes for a web page is on a good day. It takes that long just to load a picture sometimes, and on a bad day, I've had it not even come in at all. At least this website does really good though.
I have Hughes Net Satellite internet, and I wouldn't recommend it, but it's all I could get here besides dial-up. My old internet where I used to live was with Windstream, and while I had my complaints, it was at least fast enough to play Call of Duty's online multiplayer (though it often lagged). My internet also has peak hours which are really slow and bandwidth limitations even though it's supposed to be unlimited. After loading 3 or 4 videos on youtube, it slows down dramatically. Most of the time though, I can't even watch youtube videos though, because it would literally take hours for 1 video.
Unlucky. It takes quite a long time to work for me, but it seems it takes longer for you.
I can't even upload a picture to Facebook due to the connection, and the Youtube video, same with me. Usually I'd click on a video, have to wait an hour for the two minute video to be able to play correctly, and then rarely it even works that way.
Hopefull my area will be getting a better form of connection, though. I heard that there is a petition goingaround for this area to get better connectio, so I hope it passes.
And I agree about the IIN thing. It doesn't work as fast as it did with my old internet connection, but it's one of the only ones that still works pretty well, despite the connection being so bad.
Internet connection is definitely an issue here as well, "high speed" is available to most homes but it works on a cell tower with home receivers kind of deal and it's not very reliable.
Fortunately for me, there was a doctors office just down the road and DSL came to my little neck of the woods about 12 years back.
What setting do you live in?

Yes it does.
