My ISP just upgraded my connection. I mean, they just upgraded it. The change took place while I was connected, just minutes ago. All of a sudden I was redirected to their homepage and told to update my configuration. The difference in speed was noticeable, not that it was slow before. And as is typical (at least in my experience) with service upgrades in the broadband world, the price remains the same.
I guess you'd call that a productivity shock! And it was a bit of a shock to have my browsing interrupted with a message that I'm about to get a boost in speed. Has that ever happened to you... while you're on-line?
I was in on a recent upgrade and price drop too. I went from $67 monthly to $49 monthly for twice the upstream/downstream (768/128 to 1.5m/384). Logonix is awesome. Hopefully Verizon will quit stalling and upgrade the lines to my house so I can get 3m/768 and no longer have terrible pings when it rains.
I didn't get the broadcast redirect, but I run Mozilla based browsing exclusively and my home network is a thing that only a pair of hyped up network monekeys could have cobbled together.
