Speed me up, Scotty!

My ISP is boosting up both my upload as download speeds. I don't have to do anything for it, and I don't have to pay any extra. No, there is no catch, they've just been too expensive all this time.

Here is a caption of the email I just received from Planet Internet (in Dutch).

Geachte heer Dekker,

Als ADSL-gebruiker kan internetten u ongetwijfeld niet snel genoeg gaan. Dan hebben wij nu goed nieuws voor u: uw ADSL Comfort-abonnement krijgt extra vaart!

De snelheid om te downloaden gaat omhoog van 768 Kbit/s naar 1024 Kbit/s. En zelf bestanden te versturen gaat maar liefst meer dan twee keer zo snel: van 128 Kbit/s naar 320 Kbit/s.

Vodka is to Russians what therapy is to Americans. I just heard that on the television... it made me chuckle.
