This is one of those things that triggered it right away :) Java apps/jvm’s should be polling that sucker franticly ;)

Which is nice, extra speed for the same price is always a nice deal :D In my case, my upload-limit will be raised from 256kb/sec to 512kb/sec. Still pretty poor, but it’s getting better.. Still i don’t see the reason to make that whole “Telenet pushes the red button” marketing crap around this, since it’s far from world-shocking news.. Let’s hope that this is step 1 of their plan, and that step 2 is REMOVING OR SIGNIFICANTLY RAISING their monthly limits! 12GB transfer / month, i mean WTF? Welcome 21st century! I’m still a pretty happy Telenet customer though (using Digital TV and cable internet), but I must admit, some extra competition would do us all some good :)
