you dont want that crap anyway!  basically all it is doing is extra 
compression/caching sites on the ISPs servers.  So if you view sites 
with static content, you might see a small "speed" increase (its 
actually just a decrease in the SIZE rather than increase in speed) 
dynamic web pages (news, weather, etc) will not really load any faster.

this is the same idea that AOL runs off of, and CompuServe did...  now 
smaller ISPs are starting to do it too... (i think juno or net zero or 
one of them does it also)

Its all a waste of money in my opinion.
