Thanks very much for your advice.
I found there was the same delay with the laptop in an internet cafe.
I've also found I have the same problem with my Android phone
(Samsung Galaxy S2, Android version 4.0.4).
But I don't have the problem on my CentOS-6.4 server, or on Windows XP.

I've forgotten how to use wireshark -
I'll look for a tutorial and try what you suggest.

Looking at another thread, I was wondering if the problem
could be something to do with ipv6.
I think that is disabled on my laptop, but I'll check it.
