I use a program called The All Seeing Eye to find games.  Do a google
search to locate it.  It's worth the download.

There are several settings inside Quake that you can tweak to make
network play faster. All of these settings are changed in the console,
which you access using the tilda key.

/rate  - the default setting is something like 2000, which is
acceptable for dialup but way too slow for broadband play.  Set rate to
around 25000.

/snaps - set to 25 or 30

/cl_maxpackets - set to around 100

I highly recommend the threewave mod.  I think you'll like it a lot
more than regular quake.
