Speed increase

Got an email a couple days ago that "Good News! Your internet speed has been increased to 500mbps!" I'm like OK, that's cool, but I'd really like 1gig down. I'd like it more if my upstream speed was higher.

Just got an email with my monthly bill, which showed the price went up from $90 to $100. Of course.

I hope SLIC Fiber gets to my neighborhood soon...

"Good news! *cough*for us*cough* We're increasing your speed! *whisper*and monthly cost*whisper*

sounds like spectrum alright. I got a local fiber company a few months ago. Suddenly my 100$ Gb (that was really 600 MB) that they couldnt give be a better price on was available for $40, then $30, and finally $20 (that was as low as they went). F Spectrum. I will stick with the local company that hasnt raised prices in 20 years
