They have been testing network capacity to see if providing 3.5MB downstream is viable without providing it at a different cost tier. Many users have noticed increases in downstream data rates as a result.

This 'trial period' is set to end September 30th is my understanding.

The testing is for 3/256, not 3.5. This will probably end up being the normal speed for the residental package pretty soon..

In my area, have stopped offering residential Pro service due to the move to 3mbps soon. The price will stay the same.
