So what's this RR "turbo" package? Speed "bursts" to 22Mbps down,
2Mbps up, they say.  OK, as in for one millisecond, or for a hundred
seconds? What is a "burst", and what do bursts do for me? Also, how
much does it cost? The RR website seems not to want to quote a price,
except to say that the first month is free. Yeah, I suppose it's
mainly for gaming, but are there specs? I figure it must depend on
network availability, in which case you might not get it much. Anyone
use it? What kind of speed tests do you use to see if you're getting
the bursts?

I'm happy with my DSL, but this looked mildly interesting.
