Maybe 5 years ago, they would have been right. Not today. My own ISP just announced the same thing, but it hasn't made my day much brighter and certainly wouldn't stop me from ditching them for greener pastures if I could get a cheaper deal on the old speed. Yes, it's nice when you're downloading a 439 meg file, but that doesn't happen EVERY day.
