I'd say that that's a F#@&up @ Alltel. Enjoy the speed while you have it

Upload your entire hard drive to somewhere while you can!!! Don't ask questions, just use it before it's too late.

lol, I hope that they upgraded you to 384 and didn't tell you rather than being messed up and going back down later.

That's the first time I've heard of an ISP increasing upload for free. Some crazy fellas over there at Alltel... crazy in a good way, but still crazy.

when your upload is that bad I'd hope they give you some more for free Very Happy

. The crazy thing is that my upload used to capped at about 150 kB/s, but this past month I've been getting up to 250 kB/s. I don't know if I'm just lucky or what.
