I live in Wellington and have noticed the same thing, www.stuff.co.nz & geekzone load almost instantaneously but sites like the bbc take a lot longer. This has not always been the case.
On TCL Cable, no problems browsing Amazon.com, into weird subject like constitutional law, something that won't be cached anywhere. sub 4 second page render times
Likewise, BBC.co.uk is pretty nippy, Dow Jones stockmarket info up in under 4sec.
Can you include a traceroute to www.amazon.com, just in case something in the packet path is playing up?
