So I received a letter from my ISP provider announcing that as part of an upgrade on their network, I had been given a free upgrade in speed for the same price I am currently paying. My first reaction was in a form of a "sweet!" but I really did not go and worry about it at once. Then last Saturday, while working on my home PC, it occurred to me that I should…
