It seems to me my day for coincidence. Over the last couple of weeks my previously reliable ISP has been causing me all sorts of annoyance. From the minor - the same invoice sent five times, to the pretty significant - slow speeds. Today I was grinding my teeth over a really slow download which by all indications should have been a fast one. In frustration I thought I'd see what the alternatives were over at a rival ISP. I looked at a few pages detailing their plans. As I closed the tab, the download which had been running for ages suddenly sped up by an order of magnitude. Instead of hours, the download was done in a few minutes. Monitoring software for possible moves to the competition?

Nah they couldn't.

Could they???
