That on those stupid commercials, such as NetZero or Earthlink, etc.. when they show their "speed optimized" or whatnot against other computers, the web-pages load like images instead of like real webpages.

I don't remember if the NetZero one does, but I know Earthlink was doing it on the commercial with the two guys bidding on shirts or whatever.

Anyways, speaking of ISP, I called Comcast yesterday and well it should be available in a couple weeks. But that's still kind of far away, I've been waiting for so f'ing long!
