I did notice my broadband speed increased back to the speed I originally
paid for. My speed dropped in the fall. I went to their forums and many
accused them of capping bandwidth. I know they did.

Some technicians came out in Oct. and said I was to far away for their
elite service. Odd that when I first upgraded I was getting 4-5 meg and
then in the Fall under 3. Now I'm up to 4.5.

The real damage was people got fed up and switched to Concast. It's rare
for people to revert back to DSL once they got a good cable speed unless
there is a big price difference.
