More speed is always good

And it's great when it comes at no extra cost!

Quoted from my local cable provider's website:

Enhanced upload speeds for MaxOnline 2000 customers!
Simply power off and on your cable modem to enjoy enhanced upload speeds of up to 256Kbps right away.

That's double of the old upstream bandwidth! A nice gesture from StarHub, which I quickly took advantage of to upload some photos from last Saturday's model shoot excursion.

They've also announced a new high-bandwidth cable plan, providing a whopping 25Mbps/1Mbps (downstream/upstream capacity) for just over double of what I'm paying now for 2Mbps/256kbps. Is this the beginning of a bandwidth war? I certainly wouldn't mind getting more network capacity for less moolah. (Wouldn't we all?)
