I tried it using dial-up and its quite faster than 1.5 though its still on beta stage. You can download it on this links for windows = http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/moz...alpha1/win32/en-US/Bon Echo Setup Alpha 1.exe for Linux = http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/moz...alpha1/linux-i686/en-US/bonecho-alpha1.tar.gz for mac = http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/moz...bonecho/alpha1/mac/en-US/Bon Echo Alpha 1.dmg //edit oops not beta actually but its the first milestone to Firefox 2.0
Note that it is not yet beta. It is alpha. This means (among other things) that most plugins won't be available with it yet...
