RCN cable hits 7 Mbps

Woo! RCN, my cable provider, recently announced that it's moving its cable Internet service to a whopping 7 Mbps downstream (upstream is still an amazing 800 Kbps). Since they're testing the new service now in the Boston area, I was able to recycle the modem this morning and get the speed boost. RCN's slower 3 Mbps service is also getting a free upgrade soon, to 5 Mbps.

"RCN will reward its customers by automatically upgrading their modem speeds at no additional cost. Customers with MegaModem Mach 5 , RCN's cable modem service with 5 Mbps download speeds, will be automatically upgraded to MegaModem Mach 7. Customers with MegaModem Mach 3, RCN's cable modem service with 3 Mbps download speeds, will be automatically upgraded to MegaModem Mach 5 ... This is the second time in the last 12 months that RCN has increased the speed of its cable modem service at no additional cost to its customers."
