Comment 5 for bug 1438936

I would really miss this feature if it was removed! It's extremely important for me to know what's going on with my network connection with a quick glance.

How about a simple workaround? Maybe a simple option could be added for the user to set the maximum speed, so we know how many digits will be need at most (usually 3 or 4). Then, simply pad the unused digits with leading zeros. (i.e. 005 kB/s).
