for $10/month more we upgraded commiecast from 6/1 to 20/3 (apparently) seems worth it I guess, but i'd prefer 15/5 at the same price point will post from work again tomorrow LOL. routinely pull 100/30 + click the graphic to visit site and test yourself.

It's a test of how "fast" your computer connection speed is. The higher the numbers, the "quicker" your internets is. Pages, pictures, videos, etc. load instantly.
