i don't think that in india any ISP is storing the server pages in its
cache and displaying from there. that's why, as you noticed, it is
taking too long.
i have read that in several countries that is the default practice and
every ISP does that. it increases the web access speed drastically.
there have been requests for same to be followed in india also. but
somehow it has not yet happened.
for that matter, how many ISPs are providing newsserver, which is such a
necessity. i know only of Satyam that is providing newsserver. compared
to that, page-caching is much advanced concept.
apologies, if it was suitable for LI-General.
