a highspeed cable connection could mean anything to be honest from 1mb all the way to 50mb+, that does not make it a fast connection ( try this https://www.speedtest.net/ my download speed as I just done it is 53.56mbs )
have you recently cleaned out your cookies and browser of internet junk ?.. maybe you should
and honestly, try another browser, you might find that every site you go to loads faster
to a web developer IE is a bug infested rat trap, we code and fix problems for it for one reason, and that is because its shipped with windows its a popular browser, if it was not shipped with windows it certainly would not be a popular as it is.. I use firefox and when I started to build websites I knew nothing of different browsers, but I found firefox and loved the speed, ( just took a while to get used to slight differences )
The differences between vista on your old computer and windows 7 I honestly could not tell you, but as a web developer, I can easily see why you would have problems connecting to the site
