The most import factor in a website's speed is the connection of the web hosting server itself. If the server is hosted on a slow connection you will see slowness at the end-user end. It won't matter how fast of a connection you, as an end user have. Also, If the web site is hosted on a server that is hosting a lot of other sites, its going to slow down the server itself.

The time it takes to load a webpage depends on a couple of factors:
1) The amount of data in a page
This includes the language used to build the webpage and the features they're using. A site that uses a database will take longer to load since it needs to get that data first. A site that uses Java, or Flash will also take longer to load, but since you only asked about text-only sites, the database could be it.
The speed can also depend on the current number of people connecting to that webserver, though this only applies to *really* crowded websites,or web servers that are experiencing problems. This could be the case if you go to a website that only sometimes has issues like that.
2) Your internet connection
Connection speeds are not always consistent. You may have a hiccup in your connection, so when you go to the webpage it appears to take forever, if it loads at all. However, I'll bet when you hit Refresh on your browser before it's done loading, it will load quicker.
So it may not be the webpage itself.

beware these pages they usually are trying to get information from your disk system registry file and not via cookies either. if the site will not open at all on a friends macintsoh then best to avoid it all together. even orange is a culprit of this

Probably because they are doing a lot of processing on the server before the page is displayed on your browser.

I think it depends on how many people are accessing the same page, or how many are using the same telephone wires etc.
We have broadband now and sometimes we might as well be on dial up.

It is how big the pipe going to the server is or how many people are trying to use the pipe going to the server or how big the pipe is going to your computer or how many processes are using the pipe going to your computer.
