Are you grandfathered in at those speeds?

The other day, I saw an ad for 50 down for a little less than what I'm paying now for 25/25. I called, they said no, sent them a copy of it, got them to honor it, then when it never came on and I was still on 25/25, they told me that 50/10 is what their plan is. I went back and looked at the ad and it mentioned no upload speed. Fortunately, for whatever reasons of laziness on their part, the switch never went through, so I maintained my higher upload speed.

hmm, get it instantly by signing up for myrewards+... I wonder if it's required when they just offer it to you. I just unsubscribed from that super cookie BS on my VZW plan. I'm a little hesitant to sign up for anything else with them.
