I've been getting this ever since last night's storm. Definitely not complaining, just confused.

Last time I downloaded the latest AMD drivers from Akamai I was getting 2.6MB/s from them, and that was on Tuesday, whereas before it topped out at 1.8MB/s.

Friend who had 30/2 service is now 40/2!

I can't find anything on their site to explain that, I'd rather not ask them in case it was a mistake heh.

Rogers, Bell and Shaw customers can suck the big one!

Eastlinks main internet page says 40 ... 20 and 5 packages now so they must have upgraded.

Still no U/L upgrade though, which is in desperate need. I can't stream worth shit on crappy weaklinks upload speed.

The reason why I can't explain why it's a free upgrade is BECAUSE IT'S NOT A FREE UPGRADE!

i think at this point the 5mbps service should be MUCH cheaper and there should be a 10mbps service priced between the greatly reduced 5mbps service and the 20mbps service.
