jw wvu, we have few rules around this here ranch, but the
Naming Policy is one of them. Your display name should be a first and last name separated by a space and not obviously fake. Please

Now about your question. Testing really depends on what kind of application you have and what kind of load you expect. You could probably do a decent test with two computers, a network hub and a tool like
The Grinder. A TCP/IP connection is pretty much the same if it is coming from the next computer or across the planet on the internet.
If you feel you need to use the internet to test, you are looking at a minimum of getting a DSL line and a static IP address (which would not have much throughput, so load testing would not be very valid) up to getting a co-located server at an ISP or a dedicated data line (both serious coin).
