I wonder if this is the reason Comcast suddenly decided to double my internet speed today (they were forced to and then took credit because they're such good guys):

> # We've increased your internet speeds to show you our appreciation

>You can now enjoy 2x faster upload speeds and improved download speeds for smoother connections when you’re working, gaming and streaming.

>We’re excited to share this increase to your current internet package at no additional cost. Not seeing the faster speeds yet? Restart your gateway. Enjoy!




Always kinda spin any forced regulation as if it comes from the goodness of the ISP's heart.

Either way, good. 100 is a reasonable minimum for modern society. Now if only I could get a steady connection on T-mobile.


Got it too. Strikes me as extremely disingenuous. I feel like they shouldn't even be allowed to represent this as a decision they made out of the goodness of their hearts. Makes me hate them even more, which is pretty amazing because I had thought we already bottomed out.
