Subject: Dear Cox High Speed Internet Customer....
Dave
Cox Communications (my ISP) recently sent me an e-mail saying, in part,
"...
download at up to 4Mbps and upload at up to 512Kbps at no additional
cost."
I checked it with www.bandwidthplace.com It used to run at circa 2.1
Megs. Now
it's 3.5.
They just raised the speed limit without asking for more money. Kinda
neat!
Here's the relevant part of their e-mail:
Dear Cox High Speed Internet Customer,
You Deserve More!
We are pleased to announce that we are now providing you more of what
matters
when choosing a High Speed Internet provider – SPEED! In order to
provide you
with the best value in High Speed Internet, Cox is increasing the speed
of your
Preferred Package High Speed Internet service. Now you can download at
up to
4Mbps and upload at up to 512Kbps at no additional cost. This means you

times
faster than dial-up. This speed increase has automatically taken place
beginning August 10th and there is no action required on your part.

I yearn for the day when eternal vigilance doesn't have to be quite so
bloody
vigilant!
"Eternal Vigilance" is supposed to mean citizens watching their
Governments, not
the other way around....
PLEASE NOTE: No trees were destroyed in the sending of this
contaminant free
message. However, I do concede that a significant number of electrons
may have
been somewhat perturbed.
