Mine is going faster as well. I was wondering as well what the hell is going on, but i'm enjoying it while it lasts.

You have high-speed DSL?
I have sympatico ultra-high-speed DSL @ home.. regularly dowloads ~500kb/s. I hope I got a boost too maybe to ~750kb/s

only in some areas though.
i know bell sympatico is offering a new system, hence maybe that is why all you bell people are experiencing an increase.

nice, enjoy those of you who can benefit from this... not everybody gets to benefit from having a short loop line and very little noise on it.
/4200 metres from dslam in my area, cannot get stable connection of higher than about 2mbps

I've actually been noticing odd outages where my net will just crap out for a second or so and re-connect.
But, I HAVE noticed higher speeds which is great. Hopefully it sticks around.

bell has been doing upgrades since march
now normal HSE is 5mbps. if your line can handle it, the upgrade will come automatically, which means that you're not too far away from the CO and your inside wiring is in good shape.
if you dont get the upgrade before the end of the month, make sure to call sypmatico and ask why.

right now, ultra isnt being upgraded speed-wise, but i think they get some like free anti virus crap or something like that.
but it only makes sense that the speed upgrade will come soon. either that, or ultra will have no caps and hse will have a cap. i think this is what happened in quebec
