The reason that there is a delay before they answer is because your number is generated and dialled by an automated machine and then put through to the operator that is free/just about to be free at that time.
The machine will often dial the number before the operator is ready, or even generate more calls than operators can deal with leaving lots of people with either a small gap or no-one on the other end at all, which doesn't do a lot for the heart rates of the elderly - I'm sure it's illegal for more than 5% of all automated calls to have no-one on the other end. Which is when I become more boring.
