I'm an RR customer in Durham, and after I saw that ad, I checked and sure
enough, I have 3Mbps download now instead of 2. I've heard that they did
this in preparation for a marketing campaign about being twice as fast as
ADSL. The only time I really notice the speed increase is when
downloading large files from machines at UNC.
