Internet Upgrade?
I woke up this morning with a painful back, just like every day this week. Grrrr. I turned on my PC and the modem. I downloaded a file and noticed the speed was faster than usual… by about 200kbps. I did a speed test and it seems I got an upgrade that I didn’t sign up for. I checked Broadbandreports.com and didn’t see much from other users in my area. I saw a few posts from Michigan where a few users reported an upgrade like mine, so it could be a temporary promotional upgrade.
Here is yesterday’s speedtest:
And here is this morning’s test:
As long as I don’t have to pay for the upgrade, I’m all for it. Going from 3mb/256k to 5mb/512k is nice. I wish Charter’s prices were a little cheaper and I would actually buy the upgrade.
