Was that *really* the response time of the thing?

I'd love to see a realistic remake of the video including the time taken to process the voice, send it to the cloud, download the response - something like:

- Alexa, what time is it?

... ... ... ...

- The time is 2 minutes after you asked that question.

Edit: Ok, I'm tainted by circumstance. My broadband speed this week thanks to a combination of guys digging up the road and BT's inability to run a reliable service has hit 120kbps.
