You're making a distinction that will escape most people; to us, 
Anaconda is pretty much everything that goes after the kernel loader's 
boot prompt.

As for bugzilla, this is the usual state of my Internet connexion:
[summer bilby ~]$ time ping -c5 bugzilla.redhat.com
ping: unknown host bugzilla.redhat.com

real    0m10.006s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.003s
[summer bilby ~]$

When it's running well, pings to local IAPs are 1-5 seconds. I can read 
email offline, but I can't file bug reports that way.
