Most cable providers only care about getting as much money out of their customers as possible,

Yep, When I first got cable internet, I was paying $29.95 for preferred service...it was too slow for me, so I upgraded to the higher speed, and started paying $39.95......after awhile I started noticing a slowdown....and then started seeing  tvcommercials from my cable provider about a 'newer, faster speed'...It got me to thinking that maybe they had just dropped me back down in the speed dept, and kept charging me a higher rate....turns out, that is what they did..as now they have 'premium' which costs $33.00 more...and is the same speed at what I was running before the slowdown I noticed, that I was paying 40 bucks for >:( {awhile back they said they had only 2 speeds..} Well, they still have only two speeds..and apparently they dropped my speed, but not my price.....grrrrr...
Yup, they are def. getting a phone call...

~sigh~ I sure wish I could get that fiber optics option....
