I was thinking of going to the 64.000 bps level, but I will not now. At 
$24/month, instaed of $20, and no 3, 6, or 12 month payment option, I would 
spend $48 more per year, bringing the annual amount close to $300/year. No 
thank you; I will keep my account as it is. I am disappointed that Chris did 
not warn his good and loyal customers so that they might have the chance to 
decide before the increase. Some of us have been through thick and thin with 
Altopia, and have staunchly supported the service to all that would listen. 
As a satisfied customer, I have been the very best advertising Chris could 
ever ask for. I feel betrayed!!!
