[...] Charter just dropped my bill by $10/month for the next three months to raise my data rate to 2M/256k? Not sure about the second number, I just know I tend to get over 200kb/s on debian package downloads now, which is a nice upgrade from 70-80kb/s I used to get. I'm in Boylston.

If you power cycle your cable modem (leave it off for five minutes if you can), it should update. Bob> Did they officially notify you? And what's this about a rate Bob> drop? Yeah, they called out of the blue looking to get me to got the Digital Cable package. I balked and asked if they could just upgrade my Cable Modem speed, which they said yes too. Funny how that works. I wonder if I hadn't done anything but power cycle the unit, would I have gotten the faster speed? As it is, my rate drops for just a quick power cycle. *shrug*
