If they give u 1.5/256 at no extra charge, they are probably still making a profit off of you. How badly were they ripping you off before with 512/256 that they can bump it up to 1.5/256 and still make a profit...
I pay approx $30 a month for my ISP not sure exactly why they bumped me up all I know is that it is a good thing...and they have to make a profit somehow, that's the whole point of having a business isnt it?

Is it?! Dang... so that's what I've been doing wrong.
Cable ISP did the same here as well.. was 512/128 for 4-5 yrs and they upped it to 3mbit/256kb free of charge but the service was never near those speeds so we switched to a cheaper ISP with the same speeds and it always runs near max b/w caps.
Gotta love it when corporations give back to the consumer.
