You could send more data more often... See, no matter what, if the browser is sitting there waiting "too long" for data from your server, and data ain't coming, the browser is going to just give up after some amount of time. But, really, why in the world would you expect any User to sit around waiting for 3 minutes for a page to load? Don't do that. Whatever is taking that long, but it into a batch job of some kind for later, and take their name/number/email and notify them when it's done. It's just Bad Human Interfact (tm) to make a human sit there waiting for a page to load that long.
