I received a mailer today informing me that Comcast has just doubled my downstream bandwidth (now capped to 3Mbps/256Kbps) and sure enough, a 60s power cycle later, I’m now getting 450KBps transfers from muffins instead of 240KBps. So, sure they’ve increased prices over the past year so I’m now paying twice as much as I was two years ago, but at least I’m getting more bandwidth.
