Re: What does "burstable" mean?

In plain english your connection is capable of bursts of 1.0 Mbps but in real use your sustained speed will never be that high.
In other words you'll never see a speed test that high, so don't pay too much attention to that, it's just a marketing term.
As an example on satellite a burstable 128 Kbps upload means a real world 30 to 40 Kbps upload.
As always YMMV
edit>> If sbwireless.net is your only broadband option then just buy it and be glad you have a broadband option.
