Hi All,
was curious so checked it out with Westnet ... answer is below...
Hi Ken,
After speaking to a colleague, I was informed that the product you
spoke of is only applicable to satellite connections and not DSL/cable
connections. So in a sense it is legit but it unfortunately will not
apply in your situation as your are currently on broadband. Hope that
helps.
Kevin

If you are interested to increase your broadband pergorance, then try
out Apple Broadband Tuner 1.0
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/broadbandtuner10.html
Info from the site - What does the Broadband Tuner do exactly?
The installer increases the default values for the size of the TCP
send and receive buffers. With larger buffers more data can be in
transit at once. A startup configuration file is also updated so that
these changes will persist across restarts.
The system parameters are sysctl variables that are set as follows:
net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072
net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 358400
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf: 512000
