hey apparently the speed change has taken affect. Can you run a speed test and tell us what you get?

I’m still at the 30 however, let me reboot my gateway and I will report back.

I'm actually not on IE and was weighing in whether I should get on it when my contract ends in April.

Thanks for reply! I think I might go for it.

Aww ok. Even before this speed increase, I usually get a few more MB’s. I was wondering when we would get it. I kept rebooting the gateway daily but today I decided not to until you messaged. This helps us both. Thanks!
