The problem you describe would generally indicate that your ISP's connection to the actual web (as opposed to your connection to your ISP) has temporarily failed, not unusual during thunderstorms etc. due to power failures at their equipment site. If this happens more often, like several times a day, then perhaps you might call them. There are a few other factors that could cause this situation depending on the type of equipment you are using (like a wireless connection vs dial up or modem etc) but that's where I'd start. I would also agree with Bonny, I had a somewhat similar problem (took a very long time to display a site and occasionally timed out) even with Firefox but going to Chrome fixed it.
