I never even gave this a thought but it makes sense that a ton of comments might tend to slow things down. The reason that I never thought about it is because more than 90% of the time I am on my computer which is connected to the modem by an ethernet cable. Old school, I know. I prefer it because I can see everything much better. And I am home most of the time anyway. When I am on the internet on my phone things do tend to move much slower. At home I am using our wireless network and if I am out of the house I use the data for the phone.
