Is this loading time ok?

I am wondering how long will people, who use dial-up, wait for my page to load. Therefore I’ve tested my page at WebSiteOptimization and the report for downloading time is below:

Connection Rate Download Time
14.4K 50.79 seconds
28.8K 25.70 seconds
33.6K 22.11 seconds
56K 13.51 seconds
ISDN 128K 4.55 seconds
T1 1.44Mbps 0.94 seconds

*Note that these download times are based on the full connection rate for ISDN and T1 connections. Modem connections (56Kbps or less) are corrected by a packet loss factor of 0.7. All download times include delays due to round-trip latency with an average of 0.2 seconds per object. With 20 total objects for this page, that computes to a total lag time due to latency of 4 seconds. Note also that this download time calculation does not take into account delays due to XHTML parsing and rendering.
