But for only $3 MORE increase ($70), now you can get to the new $70/30MB being introduced. That's in the profit incentive they are trying induce you towards, for a bit of a max speed bump (from 25 to 30MB). (edit: This is also the point where new customers will now enter, because the $67/25MB option is "grandfathered".)

Now, if you don't like the price increase, you can downgrade your speed to the next lower level (15MB), which now cost the same $60 you used to pay. That's the speed decrease, it kicks in if you want to keep your rate the same.

from my understanding, this is bang on.
