Bright House boosts Web access speeds

Bright House Networks is increasing its Internet access speeds for residential customers. The dominant cable company in the Tampa Bay region says it is providing the improvement to Road Runner, Earthlink, AOL and Internet Junction customers at no extra cost. In addition, it also is increasing the speed for its less-expensive Road Runner Lite service to appeal to people who want to switch from dialup access. The changes should take place over the next 10 days.

Wow, that is great.

The up is still pretty sad but the more the better.

Just noticed the jump today whilst downloading files from binary newsgroups. 800KB/s? Wow, thanks RR! :)
