How did you become a beta tester....?  Do you have some connections or something, I would really like to know.

well, to be technical

a cable connection AND a dial-up modem are both broadband

k thanks for the info

yeah Broadband is anything over 56K...I believe.....if you want to check how fast your internet speed is go http://webservices.cnet.com/Bandwidth/ and input your Area code (for foreigners I think you can fake one), and then select your connection speed and click go to see how fast your connection speed is, Right now mine is at 1385kbps so about 1.385 Meg/sec I ususally average 600-700k.

cool, right now mines running at 1.517mbps

you have to be a member of the Playstation Underground (which is a US thing) and then they will e-mail you if you want to do beta testing...I am a card carrying member and didnt get an e-mail........I\'m angry!

Ok so if I already have Cable internet for my comp I must by the network adapter and then just run a cord from my comp to my PS2 right...? Or do I need to buy something else or more.

You will have to buy a internet connection sharing device like a  router, or a hub and you will also need another ethernet cable.

Here is what a router and hub look like.

And here is a diagram of what it should look like when its all put together-
