I am very doubtful that the last-mile internet speed would matter at all.
It's likely that the routes from sonic.net to whereever the packets are
going is the problem, i.e., it may be a problem on the server end.

Sometimes, when things are slow, you need to be patient when, for example,
you highlight something or type in something.

Also, http://speedtest.sonic.net is going to be the definitive answer to
the last-mile internet speed.  If you use "ping", you could find out the
network latency between sonic.net and the server.  If you could send me
the name of the server, I can run some tests.
