OK, finally talked to my ISP, DSLExtreme, about the upstream speed boost. First off, my re-up date is August 1st, not June 1st, so I will have to wait a couple of months. Secondly, the increase to 384Kbps upstream won't cost me a penny if I do it on August 1st.

Have I mentioned here how much I like DSLExtreme? OK, I'll mention it again.

Anyway, I'm sick today...some sort of weird flu. Trying to get any sleep last night was hell. I have to run some errands and do some more laundry but other than that I'm going to take it easy.
