Mediacom Cable announced on Januaray 5 that they would be doubling their high speed Internet speeds to 3 Mbits/sec down & 256 Kbits/sec up from 1.5 Mbits/s down & 128 Kbits/s up at no additional cost ... yet.
Yeah, right. I'm sure they're doubling the speed; that's really cool! But, the "no additional cost" part is laughable. Yeah, sure, they might not be raising the price just yet, but you know they will and you know they'll use this added speed as justification for it.
