Last night, the upload went at like 175-190 Kb/sec. 200 Mb uploaded in less than 15 minutes. Unless the upgrade fee is incredibly expensive, I'm going to subscribe to that!
On the otherhand, perhaps they're going to upgrade their service at no charge...
But anyway...Wow!

If you are only getting 28-30Kb/sec with a cable something is fooked up. I peak at about 300kB(B=bytes, b=bits 8 bits in 1 byte), and average between 80-150kB/sec. on the downstream and get between 20-30kB/sec on the upload. I know they changed the upstream from 128kb/sec to 256kb/sec , but think they did that some time ago. Either your neighborhood is full of internet junkies with cable, or something is screwed up on your network.
