Here's a question. On 10meg I only ever got around 3-4 meg speed at best. I switched down to 2meg (in the thinking it was already 4meg) and now get around 1meg download speed. I am going to end up with roughly 2 meg when 4meg is introduced where I live?

It seems crazy as I would have expected that by switching down from 10 meg to 4meg, that I'd still get the 4meg I was getting while on 10meg. Does that make sense? But it seems that proportionally I am getting 50% of what the supposed speed is no matter what tier I am on.

Can that be right?
