Keeping with what is apparently a theme today, bankrupt cable provider RCN has announced the company will be offering its users a new
7Mbps tier dubbed
"MegaModem Mach 7" (Thank you for not being "Extreme"). Users who currently have 5Mbps broadband service will be automatically upgraded to 7Mbps, and users at 3Mbps will be upgraded to 5Mbps - both at no extra cost. According to the company, the upgrades should be completed by the end of August. Check out the front page discussion on the story
