They've been upgrading speed tiers here and there (along with price increases.) For example my bill used to be around $100 just for internet, now it's $120 for internet, but my speeds went from 27/7 to 50/10 in my area. I know I've read in the Northeast areas (the states Verizon covers) they've been upgrading people to 100Mbps for the price of 50Mbps.

Definitely keep your mouth shut. If this is an error on their part, don't tell them before they would normally find out. And if it is an error, enjoy it while it lasts.

If it's not an error and this is the next Blast upgrade, I'd like you to do some file downloads and see if you still get 105/20.

Post the results here, along with some ShaperProbe test results

When you do, be sure to spill the beans! And where the OP is generally located? Is this beginning in the NE like I'm sadly thinking?

Did you receive an email about anything? I remember that they were doing a free couple of months or so upgrade to Extreme 101.

»[Praise] Free 3-month Extreme 105 Upgrade

If that offer has spread, why now? I'm hoping this'll be a permanent upgrade for Blast users.

It's not normal to be "that" over provisioned. You will lose the golden goose after it's all settled.
