Received "urgent notice" in browser

Anyone else receive any of these? It loaded up on any webpage until you acknowledged it, but you can apparently disable them in your account manager as well.

In my case, it was maintenance between the 22nd and 24th this month that could result in slow speeds.

Maybe they're trying to fix the bandwidth crunch for the guys around Sioux city? That'd be one of my guesses since this appears to be sort of a national update.. or it might be related to D3.

"Cable One knows that many of our customers pay close attention to traffic routing as part of the online gaming experience. We considered this and other factors during the design process. Your feedback is important to us. If you have comments, please..."

Frankly, I'm pleased that that "online gaming" is even mentioned! However, I have not received a browser alert. I am opted in to receive them, but no go... I'm wondering if my browser/security software prevented the alert. Sioux City folks, did you receive this message?

I'm in SUX and haven't seen the message on any of my computer's browsers.

Just thought I'd report in if anyone's curious; had a bunch of outages and one that lasted about an hour. Download speeds have been varying a bit but the connection is pretty stable now.

After 12 am or so the sporadic outages started again. After they ended I tested latency and some tracerts; routing seems to be more efficient and faster on my side.

I'd post some results but my girlfriend loves to use livestream webcaster and as we all know, utilizing your upstream bandwidth likes to give you a high ping... so I'll post some results later.
