[GRLUG] Comcast doubles bandwidth at same popular prices.

Looks like a sensible approach to me.
More bytes for people who won't use
a lot of them, and it still cuts the neurotics
off at the knees, beyond which they can
buy more bytes.  And the allotted bytes
somewhat scale with bandwidth, on the off
chance you really will use more bytes because
your speed is higher.
